The Star-Studded Puffball: The tiny mushroom that shoots glittering spore clouds like fireworks ✨🍄
Geastrum triplex — the collared earthstar that opens like a starfish and launches a puff of spores when touched or hit by rain.
In some cultures it’s called “the fairy’s lantern” because the spores glow faintly in certain lights. It looks like a miniature cosmic explosion on the forest floor.
Nature’s tiniest fireworks show.
