I could see this, on the hill across from the parking lot area of Conard on the New River Gorge area. It was about 60 yards away. A puff ball of some sort. So down into the ravine going through green Briers, poison ivy. a hornets nest OUCH and a pissed off copper head. i finally reached it. im not sure what species this is if anybody knows ?

I also seem to find them across rivers and parking lots where there are grassy or wooded hills. And once I found about 50 growing in an old soccer field.
These are rather common in the overgrown areas surrounding open meadows.
They may also be found buried in sand, and even underwater!
In folklore, if you lose one, you should immediately shout,“--!”
The specific epithet tigris-silvicola was deprecated? Damn those name-deprecators!
