Pear-shaped puffs? at least two types

[my_silly_M]

Some different small puffballs, all found on decaying hardwood logs.  I thinks the ones with minimal bases may be Lycoperdon pyriforme and the ones with larger bases (last 2 pics) maybe L. perlatum, though the guide I'm reading says they are not typically on logs like I found them.  All are pure white inside.

Do those IDs look accurate?

How do you like to prepare these to eat?  I'm guessing no one tries to remove the skin, so maybe just slice and fry?

I agree, two species. The ones on wood are likely Lycoperdon pyriforme. The larger ones with more prominent warts on the caps look like Lycoperdon perlatum. I'm guessing these larger ones were terrestrial.

The second ones ( perlatum ) were growing on a bit of well-decomposed litter on top of a stump.  So not growing directly from the wood but not exactly on the ground.  I found another pair of them a few hundred yards away on another downed stump growing in the same way, oddly enough.

I sometimes see L. perlatum on very well decayed wood.

I removed the skin off some pear shaped puffs last night and sauteed them. Wasn't hard to do, just time consuming. I cooked gem-studded puffs before without peeling and wanted to see what was the difference. I don't like the texture of either.
