pear-shaped puffballs (Lycoperdon pyriforme) near Vernon Springs IA 653A8476

These pretty little pear-shaped puffballs look like lightly-toasted marshmallows here. In fact, you can actually eat these delightful little mushrooms when they are still as white as a normal marshmallow. Soon you will be able to squeeze one and a puff of smoke (spores) will shoot out.
