Pear-shaped Puffball
Lycoperdon pyriforme Lemoine Point, Kingston, Ontario
If you look at the top right puffball you can see the pear shape. These typically grow on rotting wood in bunches whereas the gem-studded occur singly and on the ground.
"All things are known: the stars’ advice
Calls some content to travel with the winds,
Though what the stars ask as they round
Time upon time the towers of the skies
Is heard but little till the stars go out." Dylan Thomas
