Puffball Fungus

DateSat 2013-02-16

Lycoperdon pyriforme (= Morganella pyriformis).

Under the microscope at (x600 magnification, image width 86um) the spores are round an 3 - 3.5um in diameter.  This is consistent with the 3 - 4.5um given on the Wikipedia page.

First photo taken in the Wilderness, Whiteknights Park, Reading, UK, on 2012-02-08.
