Common Earthball

Scleroderma citrinum

14th November 2014, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
Growing in moss. Lots all around the wood. I took this picture for the nice framing of the large Earthball in a bed of Common Haircap Moss.

12th September 2014, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
Growing in mixed woods; oak and birch. Lots everywhere. 3-10cm. Mild fungus smell. Some of the many earthballs could have been other species, but the large size is indicative of Common Earthball. ID is very likely.
