We found this mushroom in the yard. It is called a peeling puffball. It's scientific name is Lycoperdon marginatum. It is about 2 cm across. We are waiting for it to peel. We've been taking pictures once a week. If it doesn't peel, it may be a different mushroom called a Vascellum curtisii. We'll be watching! More pictures to come after it starts peeling.
(NOTE: Ivy has come to find typing a tiresome endeavor. So I, Poppy, am typing up this, and probably subsequent, Nature Notes. However, Ivy still writes up her Nature Notes by hand in a real paper notebook.)
