Description
Lycoperdon are fascinating organisms known for their unique puffball shape. When they mature, they release spores in a cloud, similar to a puff of smoke, when they are disturbed. This spore dispersal mechanism is quite distinctive and helps them spread across their environment. Typically found on forest floors, lycoperdon often thrive in nutrient-rich soil and decaying wood. Their ability to grow in a wide variety of habitats makes them a remarkable and versatile group of fungi.
