Stump Puffball - Lycoperdon pyriforme

Date Photographed: 30/04/2012
Location: Cherhill Downs
Resources: http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6358.asp
Notes: This fruiting body is at the end of its life. It looks like younger fruiting bodies of this fungus can be much lighter in colouration. Upon prodding (technical term) the puffball the spores can be seen to be light brown - see video clip below:
