Lycoperdon nigrescens
Lycoperdon nigrescens, with the synonym lycoperdon foetida, commonly known as the dusky puffball,[1] is a type of puffball mushroom in the genus Lycoperdon. It was first described scientifically in 1794 by the Swedish naturalist Göran Wahlenberg.[2] Visually similar to other species when young, it grows increasingly darker with age, and lacks the pronounced stipe that old lycoperdon perlatum attain.[3]
