Earth Star Fungi

 This is a complete new find for me!  
These are growing right outside my sewing room door!
They are a puff ball fungus, an inedible mushroom in the Geastrum Triplex family.
 Some call them wood flower mushrooms and you can see why here.
They feel like a mushroom, smell like a mush room but don't give it a taste!
Today, they puffed out their spores right out of the center!
A first find for me!  
How about you?

    So weird!! I have seen puffball mushrooms numerous times, but never with the "petals" around them. Very interesting.

    I've had puff ball mushrooms in Orlando, but not PRETTY ones like that.
