Definition
A type of fungus that produces spores inside a closed or semi-closed chamber (like puffballs and earthstars), rather than releasing them openly like mushrooms.
Etymology
From Greek 'gaster' (belly) + 'myces' (fungus). Named for the belly-like or enclosed fruiting body that holds spores internally before dispersal, contrasting with open gill mushrooms.
Kelly Says
Puffballs are gasteromycetes, and when you step on one and it clouds with spores, you're actually watching an ancient fungal strategy: instead of relying on rain to disperse spores like regular mushrooms do, these evolved to pack their spores tight until mechanical pressure or animal contact triggers release.
