stale wolf-fart

^{[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 15 December 2023].}

I took this photo of a puffed-out Lycoperdon last month in London Road Cemetery, Bromley.

The origin of the scientific name did give me a giggle.

From Wikipedia: The scientific name has been created with Greek words (lycos meaning wolf and perdon meaning to fart) and based on several European dialects in which the mushroom name sounds like wolf-farts.

I'm not sure this sounds appetising to the vegetarian palate: Most species are edible, ranging from mild to tasting distinctly of shrimp.

The puff holes remind me of cigarette burns.
