return of the puffball mushrooms

[joebanks]

These were down by the railroad; where there were two last year, there are three now, plus a couple more a little ways away. Alledgedly edible, but No Thanks!




Actually, i'm not sure this is a puffball, it's shape is different, still pretty big.




am i the only one who has already has a tag for fungas?

Keep their location in mind, though. After the apocalypse, your standards may change.

(I like your picture.)

I can start a tag for fungas, it just won't be as cool as your tags.

[joebanks.livejournal.com]

But won't fungas mutate with the apocalypse; and what would that look like?

Thanks.

I've got some good ones.

Bigger. And you might have to chase it. And shoot it.

Return of the mushrooms - cool!

I won't eat them, either.

If I used tags there would probably be one that said mushrooms or toadstools :)

That's a great set of comments!

Keep an eye on 'em, joebanks. They might be plotting something...

That's interesting.

[joebanks.livejournal.com]

That should be your first.

Great people!

I worry about things like that.

Couldn't' help the pun. I think they are puffballs. My dad said that the oldtimers (ok we are talking folks around the year 1900 in this case) would use puffballs as an anti infective.

EXTERNALLY I should have specified! I don't know about eating, never heard that, but I'm not that knowledgeable about wild fungi.

Pun away! I read that they are edible at a certain phase but i wouldn't take that risk; i don't want to even touch them.
