netboy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Wife found this thing in the yard. I think it may be a brain mushroom, but not sure. Can any of you mushroom experts confirm? Also, is it edible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomolites Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 That looks like a puffball. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any of you mushroom experts confirm? Also, is it edible? Bingo As Mike said. Yes, edible but kind of bland flavor so something in the breading will help. Also, a good, layered filler in a lasagna or other casserole. Easy ID but two things to look for. Slice and make sure it does not have a non-edible forming in it. By the size if it right away I would say no. It should look like a clean slice of white bread inside. If it is darker, it is on its way downhill. I like puffballs. In places these become quite large.

netboy Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thanks for the ID Billethead and Nomolites... The pizza turned out great and we are still alive. We have been making fresh mozzarella cheese and then making fresh pizza dough with the leftover whey. Put together a great pizza tonight with the mushrooms and fresh mozzarella and good Italian sausage from Allen's market in Summit and fresh basil and oregano from the garden. It seems the mushrooms almost take on the texture and taste of the mozzarella. We see a few more mushrooms popping up so maybe we are on to something. Here is a pic of the leftovers... rps, BilletHead, Johnsfolly and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
