Subject: RE: BS: are mushrooms rubbish?
Anyone had any..... puffballs.
I have.
They're yummy.
You take a wedge out of the 14-18 inch diameter puffball. Slice thinly, fry till golden brown. Serve with chips!
The next day the puffball will have "healed" itself, leaving a cute little seam where your wedge came from. I picked mine on an old flood meadow.
They are very hard to find though. They seem to grow their fruit only every 3 or 4 years. Which, of course, makes them even tastier!
