Description
Stalked puffballs are fungi notable for their unique appearance. They have a spherical spore-bearing structure perched atop a slender stalk, resembling a drumstick. Found in arid and semi-arid regions, they often flourish in sandy or rocky soils. Unlike many fungi, stalked puffballs are adapted to harsh, dry environments, which makes them a fascinating subject of study for understanding survival in extreme conditions.
