  1. Are they beautiful? they can't fulfill my mouth, but they satisfy my eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Hi, I went on my first foraging attempt today in central Maryland. I think I found some pear-shaped puffballs. Not to worry, I don't intend on eating anything from this trip or likely the next several trips either, I just want to very humbly start getting a sense of the easier to ID edibles. The puffballs(?) were growing on the base of what I believe to have been a rotted out beech tree, though it was difficult to tell, it had lost most of its bark. They are light brown, smooth, about an inch diameter. Sliced open they are white, and I don't believe there is any sign of a destroying angel inside, from the pictures I've seen. They had stringy mycelia attaching them to the wood, and were growing in clumps. Most of them have a darker brown area at the very top, but there is no change in texture. One thing that gives me pause though, as you can see in the photo, there is a spot towards the base (and this is true for each mushroom that I sliced open) where the flesh is more transparent, less white. Is this a bad sign? Is it in fact the sign of a destroying angel and I am just misunderstanding? I thought they were supposed to be solid white throughout? Additionally- is it possible to take a spore print from a puffball? Thanks so much for any advice!
