Yes those things I described are the same you know as puffballs as well. There are two main types, small ones which are a few centimetres in diameter or giant which can sometimes get as big as a soccer ball. Here are some of the large variety I got last year.

I'm also not surprissed not a lot of people eat them there. As wild mushrooms go I consider them among the least worth picking. The flavour is okay but not great and the texture is very spongy and cooks down to almost nothing.

I guess this is turning into my mushroom blog. Here's some giant puffballs. They are honestly probably my least favorite wild mushroom I've eaten so far. Still good and worth cooking up if you find them, but I find the texture a little mushy and the flavour pretty good but not up there with oysters or morrels of even shaggy manes.

Nice! Here's a couple I found last year. It's a great mushroom to start out with.

I'm neither of those things and shove that attitude back up your ass.
