Gleba

Gleba (/ˈɡliːbə/, from Latin glaeba, glēba, "lump") is the fleshy spore-bearing inner mass of certain fungi such as the puffball or stinkhorn.

The gleba is a solid mass of spores, generated within an enclosed area within the sporocarp.

The continuous maturity of the sporogenous cells leave the spores behind as a powdery mass that can be easily blown away.

[2] Gleba found on the fruit body of species in the family Phallaceae is typically gelatinous, often fetid-smelling, and deliquescent (becoming liquid from the absorption of water).

It is formed on the exterior face of the cap or the upper part of the fruit body.
