Looking very brainy...

Puffball fungi has popped up in several places in the front yard. They just rise like bread and take the sand and pebbles for a ride on the top as they do.

They are pretty cool fungi

@kjarn A little different from the shrooms and polypores I usually find. =)

It does look like a brain! Also like it would pop like a balloon.

[Mags]

@ljmanning Poke it and it puffs dark brown spores like smoke. LOL!

I've heard of them but not seen one - cool looking

[Diana]

Fabulous close up, textures and narrative. I wonder what they are good for?

[Susan Wakely]

This is a fine specimen.

@milaniet Thank you, Milanie!

@ludwigsdiana Thanks, Diana! I imagine they eat decaying matter like the rest of the fungi.

@wakelys Thank you, Susan!

I found a couple of them in my yard. Not near as pretty as this one. The powdery spores are mysterious.
