-
An AC/DC song comes to mind. :o ;D ;D
-
Yes we eat them... So do a lot of other people.....................
-
Those are HUGE. Can't say I've ever seen one do they taste like any other type of mushroom?
-
Slice them up and dip them in egg and bread crumbs and put them in a frying pan with butter or oil..... Very good....
-
SWEET
-
hope to find some this year, found a ton of diamond studded puffballs last year, much smaller but very tasty and easy to find

Found a few smaller ones.... They will be good.... ;D
-
yah the diamond studded ones are golf ball size on the larger scale of things and are covered in what looks like little gems, doesnt take long to find a bunch depending on the area, my friend and I got a grocery bag full, cut them up and sauteed with some venison steaks and onions, mmm mmm mm
-
That sounds real good...
I wish I knew more about the other types that you can eat.....
-
I always wondered how those would be to eat. I may have to give them a try.

There real good.... I like to fry up a bunch and put the left overs in the fridge... Then when I want to eat those I bake them in the oven till crisp...
-
you can eat all puffballs, assuming they are true puffballs, creamy white no gills, and you are good! hedgehogs are also good, hard to find, but easy to identify, we all know morels are kings of spring, chantrelles arent too hard to identify, get a book and check it out! diamond puff balls are usually my favorite cause andyone can find them and you can find a ton in one area makes for a fun/rewarding day
-
Yeah. I do the Morel thing in the spring... Just not to plentiful around my place....
-
Found 3 more over the weekend.. Just getting around to posting them..

That's cool! Are you find them in the forest, the fields, or the in-between areas? I've found a few that size in the forests before, but by the time I find them they were rotten.
-
All of these have been in the same area of a field under the goldenrod......
-
Nice ones! I have been seeing alot around my leases this year haven't taken any home yet but they are pretty tasty when prepared at RD said
-

YUP...... ;D
-
This is wild. I've never seen anything like this. I would have thought they were some sort of rock. Pretty neat
-
CAN YOU COMPARE THE TASTE OF THESE TO AN OTHER MUSHROOM NATIVE TO PA?THANKS
-

No... But I can tell you they are good.... I like to slice them, dip in egg, dip in pankcake batter fry in butter... Good that way but than I like to put them on foil and put in oven till a little crisp...... And make sure the inside is white and not yellow....
-
And if I had the time I would be out looking for them now....
-

I love deep fried mushrooms. That looks pretty dang good. 8)
-
Dom, can you preserve them or do you have to use them right up? I dehydrate portabellas and white button shrooms for soups, stews, and sauces. Do you think that would work with puffballs?

I gave half to an old timer (dads friend) and cooked some and saved some in the fridge.. I will cook the rest up tomorrow...
I don't know how it would be dehydrated but I bet it would be good..
-
Time to start looking for puff balls.. ;D
-
Good luck! I actually think these would be better sauté or blanched and frozen than dried. Same deal as a chicken of the woods.
-
I dip them than saute them than put them in the oven to crisp them...

Do you have a favorite way to prepare?
-
Sliced 1/2" ,egg bath, dipped in Flower or what ever, seasoned bread crumbs, crushed up crackers or what ever.. Fry in butter.. Eat them that way but I like to bake on a cookie sheet after frying till a little crisp..
-
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…
