Good stuff, Doc. What's also good general advice on eating mushrooms is,
even if you & your guide are absolutely sure of the ID & safety of the
edible fungus, to try only a couple of bites if you've never eaten it
before. I tend to get a slightly upset stomach even if I eat too many
morels, at start of season.

The term "Puffballs" is like the term "Men" (or "Women"). It doesn't mean
much unless you qualify which "puffball" you mean. There are at least
twenty mushrooms which are called "puffballs". The Lycoperdales family
includes several geni which are delicious but some aren't very good and some
will make some people ill. Some poisonous mushroom "buttons" look similar
to edible puffballs. There are "false" and "stemmed" puffballs also.
It is advisable that you eat the ones which you can identify positively as
