Earth star

Gasteromycetes sp.

Notes:

im not sure of what this is, its been growing in my yard for some time now. that bottom part is underground and the round part pokes out of the ground a bit and when you squeeze it a puff of orange colored dust comes out. ive seen them before and poked at them i just didnt get to take a picture or get to identify them.

Very cool!
I'm sure one of our fungi experts will be able to narrow the ID down further for you.
