Common Puffball/vårtig röksvamp. Värmland, Sweden (September 19, 2020).
Today one of the children said "This is what you do when an animal dies" and proceeded to pick several flowers and lay the corpse of a Monarch butterfly on top of them. He then said a few words and bowed.
I think at least some of these kids will be alright.
