Pls read the monsoon direction as South west monsoon instead of South east monsoon.

The part of the hill was like a grass/open land - no trees near by. We saw dozens of such white balls strewn arround. Here is what Parul R Sheth has to share on Puff balls in his book - "Strange Plants" "The interesting fact about this is that when rain drop falls on a ripe puff ball, a small cloud of spores is puffed out. It has a distant cousin in the giant puffball of Central America. These are said to choke nearby observers when all of the many billions of spores explode together. " Attached a puff ball -habitat photograph and also the South east monsoon arrival we witnessed in the Western ghats- winds blowing fast and the clouds passing over us and a complete clearing in 10-15 minutes in the afternoon at 1:45PM.

Dear Raghu, hope you have not noticed its bursting... There will be a large cloud of the spores, burst out even after a gentle press.. So you will get a yellow colored powder....
