From Tuesday's hike, this is the biggest mushroom I've ever seen! It's a giant puffball (๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ท๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ข); hand included for size reference (plus, my nails were pretty colors).

So apparently, it is mushroom season around here. It's been fairly dry, so I was not expecting a lot of fungi out in the woods but was quite wrong. I found one puffball about 2 weeks ago but didn't have a camera or my phone with me, so I went back out and took some pictures this time. Puffballs are bright white unless otherwise described in the Alt text.
Recipes and cooking suggestions are most welcome, thanks!
Iโ€™ve been processing the giant puffball mushroom since yesterday. Iโ€™m not going to bother making powder. Iโ€™m just busting the dried pieces up into smaller pieces. They can be added to soups and stews and such. The ones I dried in the oven are a darker colour because they were dried at a higher heat than the ones in my dehydrator. #PuffballMushroom #puffball #forager #FoodPreservation #Dehydration #mushroom #KitchenWitch
I went hiking with @Knightky in the woods near Guelph. I saw something glowing white and round as a redheadโ€™s untanned arse. I got soooo excited. This is the biggest puffball Iโ€™ve ever found, and a definite highlight to my week. #foraging #Forager #mushroom #Puffball #PuffballMushroom #fungus #EdibleMushrooms
