lycoperdaceae
Puffballs are round, white fungi that look like small balls on the ground. When they are touched or disturbed, they release a cloud of spores that can float away in the wind!
Hábitat: Puffballs can be found in forests, grasslands, and even gardens, often growing in groups on the ground.
The Puffballs are typically round or pear-shaped fungi, often white or pale brown, turning darker with age. They lack a visible stem and gills, instead having a smooth or slightly warty outer skin, making them distinct from gilled mushrooms.
