Can you eat a puffball?

Can you eat a puffball?

Do you have any childhood memories of puffballs?  These mushrooms seem designed to appeal to our playful nature and desire to stomp on things.  And if you give into that impulse you are actually helping them out by spreading their spores and making future mushrooms. But did you know that you can also eat puffballs?!

They are considered to be on the easier end for beginners like myself to find and identify with their lack of gills and stem. Join us on our first culinary adventure with puffballs:

#2 - Classic Breaded Puffballs

#3 - Puffball Lasagna
