Spotting Video
Field Notes
Description:
These puffballs are round when young, but become pear-shaped when mature. Also, when they are mature, they develop a central hole through which spores are liberated - usually by rain. I spotted dozens of these puffballs that were in various stages of development.
Habitat:
Growing on a fallen snag in a mixed forest.
Notes:
Check out the video to see the spores being released.
