Gemmed Puffballs

Lycoperdon perlatum

 

This small, white to brown, pear- to top-shaped puffball, 1 to 2-3/8 inches across and 1-1/4 to 3 inches tall, is easy to recognize because it's covered with tiny spines. It develops a pore on top when mature, through which the spores escape. It rests on a stalk-like, chambered, white to brown base.
