Pyza Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Is this a puffball? No stem connecting to the ground. No holes just a round mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Looks like a species of Scleroderma, maybe S. bovista. Very likely toxic, as at least a few species in genus Scleroderma are toxic. Very young Scleroderma fruit bodies can be white inside. One difference between Scleroderma and true puffballs --Calvatia, Bovista, Lycoperdon, etc.-- is that the interior of Scleroderma tends to be quite firm/dense. Also, young Amanita buttons --as well as a few other agarics-- can look lime puffballs. Slice vertically to see if there's an outline of an immature mushroom inside.
