Our mild summer and plenty of leaf litter produced this giant puffball mushroom near the tree line in our backyard. It’s estimated an average sized one of these produces 7 trillion (that’s 12 zeros) spores at maturity. Now that’s a lot of spores!

Wow is that big ! I saw one at Hodag Park when I was walking Ruby. From a distance I thought it was a hat, it was that big !!
We’ve had them in our yard on occasion, but not quite that size! M
Wow that’s a big one !
