What Is a Puffball?
Morphological characteristics: fruiting bodies are medium to large. Nearly spherical, oblate, 9-15cm high, 10-20cm in diameter. The coating is thin and easily disappears. The outer cover is often lumpy and detached with the inner cover. The inner cover is thin, paper-like, light-smoke, disappears when mature, and leaves bare spore bodies and rolls with the wind. The sporophytes are compact, elastic, gray, and fade to a light smoky color. Spores are spheroidal, with small pupae, brown, 4.6 (6) -6 (8) m. The spores are long, branched, staggered with each other, light brown, 2-4.5 m thick.
