Peeling Puffball - Lycoperdon marginatum

Round puffball with whitish to brownish spines that protrude individually, and often aggregate at their tips into pointed scales. As they mature, their spines slough off in patches, rather than individually as other puffballs do.

Habitat: Puffball growing on the ground in a mixed forest with lots of oak and pine. This puffball was growing on the edge of the woods – in a grassy area.
