A beautiful lot of puffballs with brown mottling on their surface. I’m 99.9% sure that they’re Calvatia cyanthiformis, but they were all too fresh to get any spores out of them.
…and at this point I’ll never know. They were delicious. 🙂

A beautiful assortment of Lycoperdon. I’ll be buggered if I can figure out which species, though. Because the spines are not circular and the points of them tend to stick together in clusters of three or four they’re probably either Lycoperdon pulcherrimum or young Lycoperdon echinatum.
UPDATE: They are Vascellum curtisii (aka. Lycoperdon curtisii).
