Скачать или смотреть Puffball Mushrooms (Vancouver Island)

On the way back from the dump I decided to go and find a hiking trail since I was pretty far in the backwoods. After driving down a dirt road for quite some time, I find a small patchy trail leading into the woods.

About halfway through, I notice these oddly shaped mushrooms that I had never see before. Upon touching them, they released a cloud of smoke. I was quite perplexed, this must have been the strangest type of fungus I've seen on Vancouver Island.

Once I got home I flipped through my book of plants of North America and found these inside the book. I did some online research to find out more about the topic, and as it turns out, they are pretty uncommon on Vancouver Island.
