Calostoma cinnabarina

Back to the Eleanor Yarrow Index

This small red puffball grows on a stalk (which is usually underground) that is coated with a rubbery material that looks gelatinous, but is actually quite tough. Bright red bits of the outer rind of the puffball break off and are embedded in this rubbery stuff, looking like red seeds in aspic.
