One thing that surprised me recently was the electricity released by tearing and pulling off tape. I was trying to make some direct exposures onto photographic paper inside a camera obscura. Inside the very dark room I could see bursts static electricity every time I tore off a bit of tape. And when I went to remove some double sided tape from the back of photo paper, it also lit up, hopefully not leaving some strips on my exposure.
Not really related to fungi, but maybe about as curiously surprising.
