One mushroom that is often described as being round like a ball is the puffball mushroom, particularly species like the common earthball (Scleroderma spp.) or the giant puffball (Calvatia gigantea). These mushrooms are typically spherical and can vary in size, with some reaching several inches in diameter. When mature, they release spores from a central opening, giving them a unique appearance. Puffballs are generally found in grassy areas or forests and can be edible when young and firm, though caution is advised as some look-alikes can be toxic.
