Pear-shaped Puffball

Apioperdon pyriforme

Description:

These pear-shaped mushrooms are young and fresh and perhaps still edible. I didn't check if the inner flesh was white. The fruit body is 1.5 to 4 cm in width by 2 to 4 cm in height. Some are white and smooth with a few scattered white spines at the top. Some are little older and become whitish to pale brown and covered with more tiny white spines.

Habitat:

Forest edge swarming over a dead stump.

Notes:

Norwegian name: P⁠ærerøyksopp
