Notes: Puffball with vase-shaped bottom portion and hemispherical top with apical pore; dingy grey with small warts or spines; near Eastern white pine, jack pine, and birch; several scattered. The mature ones were a bit smaller than tennis balls and somewhat larger than golf balls — or let’s put it this way: hail that size would coax me to go out into it to put the car in the garage. :)

Spores apparently a powdery grey-brown to judge by what was visible around the pore mouths.
