Definition
A genus of fungi known as puffballs, which release spores in a cloud when squeezed.
Etymology
Scientific Latin name, likely derived from calvus (bald or bare), referring to the distinctive bare appearance of these fungi when they've released their spores. Named in taxonomy during the era of Latin scientific classification.
Kelly Says
Puffballs in the genus Calvatia can grow as large as a basketball and contain billions of spores—when you step on a mature one, it releases a visible cloud of spores that looks like smoke, which is why kids have been playing with them for centuries!
