I remembered one of my friends' hubby is a forager,  I called him up and he
came right over.  He said i do have puffballs in my backyard and he showed
me how to prepare them.  They were very good and i cant wait to pick some
more.  He also brought over some spores of the larger loaf size puffballs.
I hope they take in my yard.  And yes,  it is crazy to eat wild mushrooms
without knowing.  That's why i posted the question here, on my edible wilds
list and I called a friend.  =o]

If my opinion, it is suicidal to eat wild mushrooms without ABSOLUTELY
KNOWING what type they are.  Every year I read about someone who poisons
themselves and their family shrooming.  Many times these people need liver
transplants if they survive.
