Gem Studded Puffball
Lycoperdon Perlatum
This puffball can reach 7" across, and grows in the fall, following heavy rains. It is large enough to easily see, and it is distinctive enough to easily identify.
This puffball has a pore at the top of the puffball, where the skin is thinner. As the puffball matures, and the spores ripen, the pore thins out, and eventually splits to release the spores.
It is edible as long as the interior is pure white. As it matures it will turn yellow, then greenish, then dark olive colored. If stepped on after the spores mature, it will release the spores in a smoky fog.
It is found in forest litter, and we have found them in mixed forest.
