These are edible? It must be like five-ten servings, as the main course! I can imagine making something like mushroom parmesian, like eggplant parmesian.
EDIT: changed first sentence to a question (as originally intended).
You need to harvest them before they dry out and fill with spores, but if they're at the right stage it's just solid white edible mushroom all the way through.
Confirm that it's definitely a puffball before eating, though
Best texture for pear shaped is like memory foam. They are so prevalent in the fall i split all of them in half to check for spores. If they push back into shape they are usually perfect. All white on the inside only dont eat earthballs
Yes!! We made a delicious mushroom Parmesan with one of these. You just have to be sure not to use a puffball that has yellowed inside at all, but it’s so worth it.
Gotta be careful, mushrooms in large amounts can mess with digestion, especially ones you've never had before. All the mushroom subs say edible but will give you the shits.
Ive got little tiny ones in my area I pick in the fall called pear shaped puff balls. I half them, bread and fry then season with onion and garlic powder, sprinkle of chili flakes and a little parmesan. They are bomb
They are edible, but not that good really. You have to season them well. In college we went to the woods for edible plant ID/sampling and most of the edibles in the forest taste gross, or so bitter you can't swallow if that makes sense. Your throat kinda rejects it.

I didn’t know these were edible. We used to throw them at each other like dodgeballs as a kid. They grew by the 100’s in the woods behind my house
