Description
Bovistella is a group of puffball fungi known for their unique spore dispersal mechanism. They have a thin outer layer that splits open at maturity, revealing an inner sac. This sac has a small pore at the top through which spores are released when raindrops or other disturbances hit the fungus. Bovistella typically grows on the ground in grasslands and open woodlands.
