Steppe puffball is found primarily in grasslands and open areas. This species is notable for its pear-shaped body and brownish, spiky outer layer which helps in spore dispersal when disturbed by wind or touch. Typically emerging in late summer and autumn, it thrives in well-drained soils and often appears in small groups.
