Pedicelled puffball is known for its distinctive stalk at the base that resembles a tail. This feature sets it apart visually from other puffballs. It primarily grows in the woods, preferring the damp, sheltered areas under trees. The outer surface is covered with spiny warts, which contributes to its unique texture. Upon maturity, pedicelled puffball releases spores through an opening at the top.
