The earthstars are the family Geastraceae of gasterocarpicbasidiomycetes (mushrooms). It includes the genera Geastrum and Myriostoma. About 60 species are classified in this family, divided among 8 genera. An agaricoid puffball, Podaxis pistillaris, the False Shaggy Mane Lycoperdon perlatum Puffballs are fungi, they consist of a polyphyletic assemblage of Basidiomycota with gasterothecia (gasteroid basidiocarps) in which the spores are produced internally; that is, the basidiocarp remains closed, or opens only after the spores have been released from the...

One member of this family, Sphaerobolus stellatus, is a nuisance organism in landscapes known as "shotgun fungus" or "cannonball fungus", which colonizes wood-based mulches and may throw black spore-containing globs onto nearby painted surfaces. In agriculture and gardening, mulch is a protective cover placed over the soil, primarily to modify the effects of the local climate. ...
