Later in the afternoon Jim was mowing the grass and lo and behold, there was a perfect puffball growing right across the road from us. He picked it, I examined it and we determined we’d have some of it with our supper.
This is a medium to small one….around 7” or so across.
I sliced it up, trimmed off the outer edge and pan fried it in a little butter. This was the freshest, tastiest mushroom I’ve ever had. It smelled like the button mushrooms you buy in the store, but tasted 100 times better. We’re having the other half tonight and will keep our eyes open for more. These are seriously good mushrooms!

Oh boy that looks good! Shroom hunt is in your future. Wildlife and shrooms in your own backyard. Sounds like ah line from Wizard of Oz eh? Who knew?
SIS sure am glad you have that little book to tell you what is safe to eat etc. I have NEVER seen one so large.. WOW!! Glad it tasted good too. I am not a real mushroom fan but that certainly is cool and what even better....it's FREE! : )
Um...yesssss...mushhates, I mean mushrooms. What's not to love? Serious though, glad you had a positive experience and I had no doubt you would have determined them safe first.
I would love to try that! How lucky you and Jim are to have such delicacies in your own back yard.
I love mushrooms but do post again tomorrow so we will know that you and Jim are OK. Just kidding as I know you made sure it was safe before you ate it.
I always wonder about mushrooms, and If we had to fend for ourselves, no supermarkets, I'd probably starve.!!
But those look marvellous to eat, fried with bacon and tomatoes, yummy. .. feeling hungry now. xx
