The Common Puffball is a small, round fungus that can also puff out spores! It's fun to find in grassy areas.
Hábitat: In grassy areas and forests
The Common Puffball is a pear-shaped fungus, typically white to yellowish-brown, covered in distinctive small, cone-shaped spines or warts. These warts often fall off as it ages, leaving a net-like pattern. Its soft, white interior eventually turns into powdery, olive-brown spores.
