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
Latin name : Lycoperdon perlatum

    Wow; bin begeistert von dieser Bildkomposition. Die Körnung auf dem Pilz kommt in dieser spotartigen Beleuchtung super gut herüber. Schön, dass die Umgebung ebenfalls so gut zu sehen ist.

    Beautifully lit with great sharp details - looks so attractive against the large treetrunk ..... but in my garden it takes over every autumn.
    Excellent work, Mark.
    best weekend greetings, Adele
