Puffball Mushrooms can be found in damp climates and near rivers.These mushrooms can be harvested for their spores, which can be used to fill a glass orbs and dispersed to form a poisonous cloud at the discretion of the wielder. In recent times, however, puffball mushrooms have become a popular area of study since they are less deadly and ultimately easier to grow and handle than lotus.
For a very long time, alchemists ignored the properties of the puffball mushroom in favour of studying the various types of lotus and their effects.
