Calostoma rodwayi – Forest Prettymouth

            Calostoma is a genus of gasteroid fungi. They do not have the spore discharge mechanism associated with typical gilled fungi, and instead have enclosed spore-bearing structures. 
Calostoma rodwayi is a brown puffball which is raised up on a thick gelatinous golden brown stalk. On the top of the puffball are distinctive orange-red lips which cover the opening through which the spores are ejected. While maturing the openings are covered by a cap (left) which later lifts off to expose the red lips. In New Zealand the species is found in beech forest.
