it doesn’t have perlatum-warts, just tiny spines without the net pattern on the endoperidium, looks more like Lycoperdon molle or something.
Eh?

It’s damaged; the warts have mostly fallen off. But it’s in an area that grows lots of L. perlatum and it doesn’t look like anything else, either.

the lycoperdons I have information about or descriptions of are basically L. perlatum and L. echinatum, the latter of which has very distinctive spine growth not apparent on this one. Smooth white puffballs I expect to be Bovista and Calvatia, and vice versa. Spiny to me suggests Lycoperdon.
