The mushroom has an exoperidium (like Geastrum outer) and endoperidium (like Pilobolus head). The basidiospore is hyaline, globose to elongate, and having circular gradation on the surface. Sphaerobolus is known as lignicolous, phototrophic, and sometimes as coprophilous fungus. Sphaerobolus was classified into Geastrales and Sphaerobolaceae.
