Title: Puff Balls
Post by: Raquettedacker on Sep 27, 2021, 01:32 PM
Found this nice one on Saturday and when I reached down to pick it I couldn’t believe what was on the top. Than noticed what was on the side..
 The top had a perfect , what I think is, a coyote paw 🐾 print.
 Not sure about the scratches on the side…

That would be really cool to preserve. Wonder if you can do that?

Yup saw two Tuesday afternoon. They needed a little time. Maybe the recent rain has the shrooms waking up.

That’s got to be a 5 lbr’. Eat all that and you’ll be a 250 lbr’.
Nice!

Right Bob.

That doesn’t look like a “puff” ball.

I went mushrooming with a buddy this evening,

We found a few boletes and a bowling ball-sized puffball.

I cooked them both and sampled some of the puffball (for the first time) and found it had a surprisingly delicate flavor.

Had a friend share half of a huge puffball with the wife and I. We cut 1 1/2" slices and used it for a base for personal pan pizzas. Had some homemade sauce from our tomatoes, along with venison meatballs. Added on some finely sliced onion, banana peppers, mozzarella and parm. Was outstanding!

Got a nice one in my yard. Darn thing came up right where I had sprayed roundup a couple days earlier. Probably won't kill me but I'm passing and hoping for a legion of spores for next year.

As much land as our golf course has, I’ve never seen one there. I’ve been in every piece of woods and covered it end to end more times than I can count.

Looks like beechwood in his wood pile.  I wonder if puffballs like that.  One of the beer companies advertises their beer is beechwood aged, maybe you should have them with a bud!
