Very nice.
I expected a kind of mushroom - forms a large, ball-like head which eventually bursts, releasing a cloud of spores. Called - you guess it - a puffball. These are lovely - rather like the dandelions we have hereabouts. If you don't mind, what color is the flower? How tall? Are they considered weeds?
Effective image. Thanks for sharing.

Yes they are considered weeds and the flower is yellow similar to the dandelion. I know the fungus you were refering to, we get them here as well.

Gorgeous... I really love how black and white allows the shapes and textures to take over. Beautiful contrast.
