Røyksopp på en stubbe. Soppen har tydeligvis bodd her i flere generasjoner. Pærerøyksopp, Lycoperdon pyriforme. I Norge finnes ca. 30 arter røyksopp fordelt på 5 slekter. Viktigst er slektene røyksopp(Lycoperdon), storrøyksopp (Calvatia) og eggrøyksopp, som alle er spiselige som unge, så lenge de er snøhvite helt igjennom. Størrelsen kan være høyst forskjellig. Nesten alle arter vokser på marken, men pærerøyksopp (Lycoperdon pyriforme) holder til på gamle trestubber eller døde røtter. (SNL) Lycoperdon pyriforme is one of only a few puffballs that grow on wood, which makes it fairly easy to identify. Other distinguishing features include the fact that its outer surface is only finely spiny, with spines that usually wear off; and the long white mycelial strings attached to its stem, which is often pinched off at the base--resulting in the pear-shaped ("pyriform") overall appearance that gives the species its name.
Desiccated, putrefied, shredded, tattered, and otherwise foul specimens of Lycoperdon pyriforme are often encountered by mushroom hunters in the spring, since the little puffballs have amazingly tough skins that can survive for months, sometimes even over winter. Saprobic on the deadwood of hardwoods or conifers; growing scattered or, more typically, in dense clusters (sometimes covering logs with hundreds of fruiting bodies); usually appearing in fall and early winter, but sometimes fruiting in spring and summer;
Fruiting Body: More or less round when young, but by maturity usually shaped like an inverted pear; 2-3.5 cm wide; 2-4.5 cm high; dry; covered with tiny white spines when young and fresh; spines usually disappearing by maturity; typically with a pinched-off base; by maturity developing a central perforation through which spores are liberated by rain drops and wind currents; pale tan to yellowish brown; with a white, fleshy interior at first; later with yellowish to olive granular flesh and eventually filled with brownish spore
