Summary
| Description |
Common Name: Gem-studded Puffball, Common Puffball, The spiked protuberances that extend from the outer shell called the peridium are equated to embedded diamond-like studs, an oddly beneficent metaphor as fungi generally have more pejorative nomenclature (like devil’s snuffbox). The term puffball is descriptive of a round fungus that expels its spores in ‘puffs’ through a hole that develops in the peridium called an ostiole. |
