Calvatia candida is notable for its spherical shape and often smooth, white outer surface. Younger specimens have a firm texture, transforming into a powdery substance as they mature. This transformation plays a key role in the mushroom's lifecycle, aiding in the spread of its spores. Calvatia candida thrives in grassy areas, favoring open and sunny habitats.
