{Lycoperdon Echinatum (Spiny Puffball) in our Garden}

On August 3, after some rain, we all of a sudden had several mushrooms growing in our garden. Like these Lycoperdon Echinatum (Spiny Puffball).
They produce a lot of brown dust when mature. These actually are their spores. Some Lycoperdon species are therefore called a puffball.

    Dearest Mariette,

    what a funny thing is this? I never saw a plant like this before! Must have a better look later again!

    Have a lovely day,
    love and hugs

    Wat een mooie paddestoel!
    Wij zijn in zeeland geweest op een camping en daar stonden er ook veel,als je er tegen kwam plufte hij kapot en had je bruin poeder dat er uit kwam.Naar het schijnt is het iets geneeskrachtig maar voor wat weet ik niet.Toch mooi wat we van de natuur krijgen hé.
    Lieve groetjes Carine

    Hi Mariette,
    it is an amazing funghi. We have similar ones here. But not with that little spines on the surface. Nature has amazing shapes.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    I think this is very pretty. Not sure about eating it or breathing in the spores. Really neat.
    Love to you,
