A medium-sized puffball (usually at least an inch in diameter) which is white when young becoming darker as it matures until the exoperidium (outer skin) flakes away exposing the brown endoperidium (inner skin). This then splits forming a slit or irregular opening through which the spores are released. The fruitbody may become loose at maturity and often blows some distance from where it grew. Widespread and common in many types of grassland including fertilised lawns.
