Lycoperdon molle, commonly known as the smooth puffball[2] or the soft puffball,[3] is a type of puffball mushroom in the genus Lycoperdon. It was first described scientifically in 1799 by Dutch mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon.[4] The puffball is edible when the internal flesh is still white.[3]
