A puffball won’t blow you away in the taste department, but they have a good texture. Maybe good foragers can afford to pass them by, but I’m not a good forager.

Actually made me sad this summer: There was a big puffball growing on a neighbor’s lawn. Knocked on the door to ask if we could take it, and they said to let it stay so they could see how large it got. Then they never picked it and I had to watch it rot away.
