Large white round fungus emerging from underground
    #22414290 - 10/21/15 03:52 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

These things have been growing for years on my mom's tennis court. The material is a clay like pulverized stone.

As they get bigger they cause a bulge to form and eventually in a few weeks it will look just like the top of a skull. It then opens up like the pods in alien and spews a massive amount of spores. Interestingly, the spore mass acts like a liquid even though it is a powder. If I have the chance I'll see if any of them do that this year.

I suspect they are growing from the roots of white pine trees.

Upon digging them up, there was a distinct fishy amine odor, but the insides smell kinda fresh.

weird.

the cross section reminds me of a truffle, but i'm not used to looking at the interior of truffles so maybe that's my imagination.

I would start by comparing to http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Mycenastrum_corium.html


Maybe consider Scleroderma polyrhizum and Calvatia pachyderma.
