Luisa48 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Can someone identify this mushroom? It has no gills and it is not a puff mushroom. I broke of a little piece of onther one and it was solid meaty. The size is on the photo. http://kronometric.org/phot/manor/flora/fungus to ID.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's a type of Puffball, probably a species of Calvatia. Compare with Calvatia craniiformis. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/calvatia_craniiformis.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
