The Soft puffball

''Lycoperdon molle'', commonly known as the smooth puffball or the soft puffball, is a type of puffball mushroom in the genus ''Lycoperdon''. It was first described scientifically in 1799 by Dutch mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon. The puffball is edible when the internal flesh is still white.
