Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

    That’s amazing. I have so many questions as a non-mushroom-person. Are they useful for anything? Do they unfold on their own or is that just how they look when they’re done growing. Really spectacular and weird, which is what fungi do best.

      I’m not aware of any utility, but am a novice.

      I have seen hundreds of puffball mushrooms recently, my son is big fan of popping them, but these are a little different. It looks like an average puffball on a futon that turns into a star.

    We get so many of those here! They’re always a delight to see. Up there with the egg basket ones whose name I’m forgetting at the moment.
