Wow Lisa... and Regina...

Even though you have both survived your puffball dinners (lol) I would still have great difficulty eating one.

I have never seen any the size of the one in the photo (kewell pic, btw)

All the puffballs I have seen here are golf-ball-size and I have ALWAYS been told they are poisonous (though I have never checked that with a fungi book or anything).

But with over 40 years of messages telling me they are deathly poisonous - I can't see myself ever even nibbling the edge of a puffball anything...
