These fascinating fungi have a unique, round shape and are covered in small, white spines that give them a fuzzy appearance.

This image presents an aerial view of three earthball mushrooms, specifically Scleroderma texense, nestled within a grassy area at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site, Washington, Texas. The photograph was captured on December 16, 2023.

Upon closer inspection, the earthballs exhibit distinct features. Two of them have been cut open to reveal their internal structure, with one appearing completely hollow and the other partially filled with a dark brown substance. The remaining earthball remains intact, showcasing its characteristic rounded shape. Notably, the outer skin of these earthballs has cracked over time.

The surrounding environment is characterized by short grass blades and small twigs, which are likely the result of recent rainfall or maintenance activities. The overall atmosphere suggests that this image was captured during the winter season in Texas, with the cold weather potentially contributing to the earthballs' exposure and vulnerability. – AI vision

Sección de hongos de tierra Scleroderma texense en un prado en el sitio histórico estatal Washington-on-the-Brazos. Washington, Texas, 16 de diciembre de 2023. Esta imagen presenta una vista aérea de tres hongos de tierra, específicamente Scleroderma texense, anidados dentro de un área con césped en el sitio histórico estatal Washington-on-the-Brazos, Washington, Texas. La fotografía se capturó el 16 de diciembre de 2023. Con una inspección más detallada, los hongos de tierra presentan características distintivas. Dos de ellos han sido abiertos para revelar su estructura interna, donde uno aparece completamente hueco y el otro está parcialmente lleno con una sustancia marrón oscuro. El hongo de tierra restante permanece intacto, mostrando su característica forma redonda. Cabe destacar que la piel exterior de estos hongos de tierra se ha agrietado con el tiempo. El entorno circundante está caracterizado por cortas hojas de césped y pequeños ramitas, lo que es probablemente el resultado de recientes lluvias o actividades de mantenimiento. La atmósfera general sugiere que esta imagen fue capturada durante la temporada de invierno en Texas, donde el clima frío puede haber contribuido a la exposición y vulnerabilidad de los hongos de tierra. – Spanish translation
