Puffball
Natural Context
Puffball usually refers to wild mushrooms found in forests or grasslands, not those sold in stores.
While hiking, we spotted several puffballs under the trees.
Edible Varieties
Some puffballs are edible; however, it's crucial to identify them correctly to avoid poisonous ones.
You should only eat a puffball if it's been positively identified as an edible species.
Seasonal Appearance
Puffballs mostly grow in late summer and fall, so they're often associated with these seasons.
We go puffball hunting in the woods every autumn.
