Description Notes

Black ink line drawings, with some shading.
Four pictures show different stages in the development of the fruiting body (large spherical, on the end of a stalk), ending with the dispersal of the spores (blown away, or exploded?) The ripe fruit, and the moment of disperal are the two main pictures, with two small immature stages to left, below ripe fruit.
