20091004 in front of 38 Av Filion in Saint-Sauveur-des-Monts. Under spruce on a lawn. I believe this is the first time I see such a mushroom. Called Earthstars (Étoiles de terre), they are simply puffballs wrapped in a casing that opens up along slits. This action raises the mushroom off the ground making it easy to get accidentally pushed around by animals, rain or wind to aid in spore dispersal.
