Descriptions

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Lycoperdon Pers. 1801

Notes

Smallish puffballs found on soil, characterised by a cellular sterile base, a broad stalk of tissue which lacks spores and within which are chambers (cells) visible under the hand lens.

There are 4 species reported from New Zealand.

Notes

Fruiting bodies with a sterile, broad, stalk-like base, flesh white when young, powdery and brown when mature, opening through a well-defined pore. On soil.

Several species reported for New Zealand, but poorly understood taxonomically. Only those species listed below treated in the Virtual Mycota.

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Vascellum F. Šmarda 1958

Notes

Small puffballs found on soil, with a distinct cellular sterile base, plus a distinct skin-like membrane (diaphragm) separating the spore mass from the base.

There is a single species reported from New Zealand.

Notes

More or less globose fruiting body with a sterile, stalk-like base, opening through a regularly-shaped pore. Internal tissue white when young, powdery brown when mature. Distinguished from Lycoperdon by the well-developed membrane layer between the spores and the base. Mostly found in grassy places.

A single, exotic species recorded from New Zealand.
