Subject: I found some puffballs

Modified by nobleheart (14. April 2006, 07:30:01)

researched them..think they are Calvatia gigantea.

shall I try them?
I am being very cautious because i know many fungi are edible & delicious but many are very poisionous.
but i heard ALL puffballs are edible.has anyone had any experience with them?

nobleheart: at the moment in my yard there are dozens of mushrooms growing after all the rain we have had...I break a few up and throw them around to let the spores keep growing for the future...My friends have been twicce this week and picked a feed...I love mushrooms :)

as far as puffballs are concerned I heard that they are all poisonous but really have no idea:(
