Puffballs and morels are edible fruit bodies that are sometimes called mushrooms.The function of this visible part of some fungi is to produce and disperse the largest possible number of spores in the shortest possible time.rue mushrooms typically look like umbrellas. They consist of a stalk topped by a flat or cup-shaped cap. Their spores are produced on special cells called basidia, located on the underside of the cap. The class of fungi whose spores are produced by basidia are called Basidiomycetes.
