Puffballs--Interesting Fungi
Channel: zuditaka

So many beautiful fungi about, in recent days, during and after the rain. Puffballs and toadstools; mushrooms; and things.

Puffballs always look a bit science-fictiony to me. They also remind me of the white and shrouded, round and mysterious, radio-communications technology and gadgetry at Pine Gap.

One does see very large puffballs, sometimes. Indeed, the last puffball featured in this video has, by today, grown almost the size of a human skull, and looks a bit like one, too, where the slugs or snails have bored orifices into what now appears like white bone. A bit creepy, really! And when they go black and burst poison (?) powder, everywhere, they are even more creepy! ☠
