Wolf-fart Puffball, Stump Puffball (Lycoperdon pyriforme), Lycoperdon is a genus of puffball mushrooms. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 general, it contains the smaller species such as the pear-shaped puffball and the gem-studded puffball. It was formerly classified within the now-obsolete order Lycoperdales, as the type genus which, following a restructuring of fungal taxonomy brought about by molecular phylogeny, has been split. Lycoperdon is now placed in the family Agaricaceae of the order Agaricales
