Earth star fungi different stages of opening but no puffbal so i cannot class it as a puff ball
widespread in marshy damp areas growing from the soil or in leaf litter
Spherical fungi that seemingly explodes out of the ground after substantial rain. In actuality it opens like a flower to reveal a ball of spores to be caught by wind.
