‘Fantastic Four’ is what came to mind when I saw these four common puffballs, growing proudly. These fungi may not be the most beautiful, but they certainly aren’t lacking in superpowers – when mature, they release their spores in a spectacular puff. I took this photo in the woods, using the remnants of light filtering through the trees to bring one of the superheroes into the spotlight.
