common puffball

Anne if i am not mistaken this called common puffball/Lycoperdon perlatum The white, spiny looking exterior with 'gems' or 'studs' which are soft and detach when manipulated. The outer shape is rounded and tapering, often inverted pear-shaped with no openings visible. The inner structure is uniform, soft and pure white when the mushroom is immature and edible. Forms with mature spore-bearing tissues are yellow to olive inside. If the inner structure is hard or contains gills or an inner stem, then it is not the gem-studded puffball and may be poisonous—potentially even deadly.
