EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the enchanting beauty of the Common Earthballs (Scleroderma citrinum) in this stunning photograph taken in the tranquil Ladock Wood, Cornwall, UK. Captured by renowned nature photographer, David Chapman, this image showcases the unique and intriguing features of these fascinating fungi. Common Earthballs are not your typical mushrooms or toadstools. Instead, they resemble round, brown, and leathery orbs, covered in a layer of moss and other organic matter. They are also known as Pigskin Poison Puffballs due to their toxicity, which can cause skin irritation and gastrointestinal problems if ingested. Despite their unassuming appearance, Common Earthballs play a vital role in the natural decay process, breaking down dead organic matter and releasing essential nutrients back into the soil. This image captures their earthy tones and textures, as well as the delicate moss and other natural elements that surround them. This photograph is a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. It is a must-have for any nature enthusiast, mycology enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the intricacies of the natural world.
