Giant Puffball Mushroom

By

puffballtext2While out mushing the WooFPAK, WooFDriver and his crew came across this Giant Puffball Mushroom(Calvatia gigantea). It was hard to miss due to its size!! They are found in meadows, fields and deciduous forests in late summer through autumn. Most giant puffballs grow to be 3.9 to 27.6 inches in diameter, although occasionally some can reach diameters up to 59 inches and weight up to 44 pounds!!
