The Fungi world (90) : Common Puffball
The Common Puffball is always off-white when young, but in the mature stage, this fungus becomes brownish.
At the end of its life, a perforation in the top opens and its spores are released when the body is compressed by rain drops, falling nuts, etc.
Dutch name : Parelstuifzwam
German name : Flaschenstäubling
