[efloraofindia:33354] Puff-ball Mushroom

[R. Vijayasankar]

As a gift to Tanay, for his interest in the field of Fungi/mushroom and other flora, i am sending these pictures of mushrooms in separate mails.

 

See the gill (will) power of this puffball mushroom, breaking open even rigid tar road, to see the world above soil. Taken by Suma at FRLHT campus in Bangalore.

 

I respect it, while people like to kick it and play!

Dear Vijayasankar Ji,

Thanks for the picture I really do admire the will power of Fungi and that's why i love them, it is the outcome of this fact that fungi is an ubiquitous organism who dominated the planet earth for millions of years and several million to come. you can get hold of similar picture of where a mushroon has grown breaking down the asphalt in the book entitled as  " Introductory Mycology" by C.J Alexopoulos, C.W Mims and M. Blackwell ; 4th Edition Page no 520 photo courtesy M. Blackwell.

Regards

Tanay

Hello All,

Puffballs encompass the genera Calvatia, Calbovista, Lycoperdon. I think this may be Calvatia cyathiformis ?
