Common Puffball: Photo 11th October 2017

The awfully common Common Puffball in a form less often seen. Young, newborn. It loses its spines as it ages. (I’m sure that reminds me of someone.)

    Age has a way of bending or in some cases removing the spine all together.. Nice photo too Crispina…

    Like a penguin loses its fluff, so does the ‘shroom. Funny how many things in nature have similar growth patterns, so to speak.

    It does look so fresh and new and pure. All those tiny spines make it look like some alien creature. I laughed at your commentary at the end!

    Wow – that’s so unusual. I echo Joy’s thoughts – it does look like an alien creature…Beautiful shoot 🙂

      I thank you, Sammi. It’s great that they get exposure. Though I’ve a whole load of fungi pics that aren’t of sufficient quality to post. I keep them more for my own reference. “Oh yes, I saw one of those … when was it, and where?” 🙂
