puffball البافبول

Explanation:
Puffball
البافبول - نوع من أنواع الفطر
(n.) A kind of ball-shaped fungus (Lycoperdon giganteum, and other species of the same genus) full of dustlike spores when ripe; -- called also bullfist, bullfice, puckfist, puff, and puffin.

http://en.bab.la/dictionary/arabic-english/البافبول-نوع-من-أ...

The fungi are called 'puffballs' because clouds of brown dust-like spores are emitted when the mature fruiting body bursts, or in response to impacts such as those of falling raindrops.
