My other half tells me I am wrong.
Eric, our fungi friend, used to call them that, which I remembered, but my OH thinks they (the Wolfs farts) are actually an American Puffball not a European one. Sorry .
But I knew the photos were of some sort of puffball. Quite tasty as I recall but you can only eat them when they are young.

Don't think I will bother trying to eat them, knowing my luck I will pick the one mimic that is lethal.

Me neither, and by the sounds of it best kept at a distance.

Do you not think that this autumn has been particularly good for fungi? Wet and warm, I suppose.
Best wishes,

I have come across more varieties of fungi than I have ever seem before so I guess that must be that case, the frustrating thing is that I have not had the time to take pictures of them.

Says common but I have never seen one before.
Were there pine trees nearby? I can only see Oak leaves in your shot, so that might rule out the Sickener. It could be (and I'm not joking) a Fly Agaric, but only if you've had some heavy rain that may have washed the spots off.Looks like it, thanks for that.

I wondered about that, but thought no spots can't be, but I'm no expert.

The spots really can wash off, they're just the remnants of the veil that covered the cap before it opens out. I've seen plenty where there are very few spots left, and last week saw one with little piles of spots laying on the floor beside it. I wondered about that, but thought no spots can't be, but I'm no expert.
