Field Notes
Description:
Clusters of tan-brown puffball fungi growing on wood mulch. Pear-shaped with narrow base and larger, more bulbous top. No rough texturing on outside. When young specimens are split apart there is no variation in texture or appearance inside (photo 3). Spores are olive-brown and fruiting bodies have a single round to oblong opening through which spores are expelled.
Habitat:
Wood mulch at a playground beneath chestnut oak and red oak trees. Same park as my stinkhorn spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7365735.
