Shroomers ahoy....
« on: April 06, 2015, 11:20:01 PM »
These look like brown puffballs to me, your thoughts?  I don't usually see them until they are puffing out under my feet.

Has anyone eaten these?  "They" say puffballs are edible.

I don't think I will be eating those anytime soon. I would have to be real hungry. I'm sure someone will have an answer for you.

The only puffballs I eat are white. Not sure about these. These may be dead-man's foot, which is inedible.

Tell weathergirl to take out some insurance on you, then try them.  Fried is best.  Might as well enjoy your last supper. :chuckle:

Are those the ones that get ginormous, like softball to soccer ball size? There's one that comes up every year in my neighbor's yard on the east side that's got me curious.

If they're white and round, they're western puffballs and choice eating. They won't have an underneath or any kind of gills. Slice them thick, coat them with olive oil and garlic, and brown them on the barby. They're really good.

Dying isn't a great result just because the mushrooms are free. Unless you really feel strongly about it. Then, it's OK.  :tup:

I looked up verpas on Wikipedia... found this so I may abstain for a while:

"Although widely considered edible, consumption of the mushroom is generally not advised due to reports of poisoning in susceptible individuals. "

Angel wings... wikipedia calls sketchy as well:

Although P. porrigens is generally regarded as edible,[3][4] as of 2011, it has been implicated in two documented outbreaks involving fatal encephalopathy. Both incidents were in Japan, and most victims had pre-existing kidney disorders.[5][6][7]

Sounds like the one. Big, round-ish, and snow white and solid all the way through.

If one really has interest in mushroom identification join one of the mycological clubs. Good way to get out with those in the know. Good luck, be careful.
