Dave W Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 True puffballs are edible when the interior is white looking like cream cheese. Three things to be aware of: 1. Buttons of gilled mushrooms --including poisonous Amanitas-- sometimes look like puffballs. Section lengthwise and examine the interior; 2. Some species of Scleroderma, when young, are white inside. The texture inside a Scleroderma fruit body is stiff/hard. Scleroderma should not be eaten; 3. Puffballs with interior darkening --usually greenish/yellowish at first-- should not be eaten. "All white soft inside" suggests these are true puffballs in the edible stage. Do not consume uncooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
