Spore ball??
    #1736267 - 07/21/03 08:09 PM (20 years, 8 months ago)

Today while looking for mushrooms on lawns i came across a very odd thing.

It was a little ball about 1 cm diameter with a tiny hole in it, and when you squeezed it Spores came out!!

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Sounds like a puffball mushroom, no clue of the species name though.
Did it look like any of these?

That would be a puffball. There are lots of different kinds.

The biggest kinds can get about 3 feet across.

Happy mushrooming!

Does anyone else love puffballs as much as I do? Exciting to find them in the grass and then attacking your friends with them (All the while helping spread the spores of this little visitor)

you can see the post here, now I'm not saying that they have psilocybin in them, beacuse they don't. But supposedly they cause auditory hallucinations and such. Anyone have any expiriance with them?

We use to call them "devil's snuff" when I was a kid. We'd stomp'em (after they turned brown) and the "snuff' would go everywhere. Farm kids will play with just about anything.

I've always wanted to try some puffballs myself, Gumby. Found a shitload of the skull-shaped puffballs (Calvatia craniformis) last year, but the spores had already turned greenish, so they weren't fit to eat.

There's nothing like stomping through a field of ripe puffballs.  They're even better than popping bubble wrap.  :smile:
