Thank you, Tukup. I can’t wait until the weather warms up a bit here and I’ll be able to hopefully see more of the like!
Cool. I always wondered what they were called. Sounds like there's a lot of them though. Good spot.
I'm comfortable with Lycoperdon sp. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topi...
