Puffball (Scleroderma citrinum)

QU Biological Station. This is a young specimen of the puffball, cut in half to show the pretty purple inside. It looks like a jam cake perhaps, but in fact this puffball is very poisonous!

Very cool. Almost looks like a geode!

Fascinating to see the cross section and find that it's colored like this. Look harmless, but then mother Nature probably meant it that way. "V"
