Giant puffballs are truly fine eating. I like them sliced and fried in butter with a little garlic and oregano. I have an Asian friend who makes a "curry" with them. Hefries them in a paste of garlic, ginger and garam masala and adds double cream and chopped fresh corriander to the pan in the last minute of cooking. I rarely come accross them, but the first I ever found was in the middle of a meadow when I was out walking my dog. It looked just like a white balloon or football (UK not US!) from a distance. It grew to maturity rapidly and was a joy to eat! Ah...I'm getting hungry now LL
