About
Lycoperdon pratense, commonly known as the meadow puffball, is a type of puffball mushroom in the genus Lycoperdon. In the early stages of development its skin is scruffy whereas its bigger relatives have smooth skins. It grows to 4 centimetres wide and 5 cm (2 in) tall. Its stump-like stem differentiates it from the giant puffball.
