description Mosaic Puffball Overview
Handkea utriformis, commonly called the mosaic puffball, is a large puffball fungus found in grassland, woodland edges, and other open habitats in Europe and North America. Its rounded fruiting body has a surface that breaks into polygonal flakes as it matures, creating a mosaic-like pattern. The interior is white and firm when young, but it becomes dark and powdery as spores develop, which is a key stage in its life cycle.
