The puffball was ok but not something I would want to eat by itself. It has like a sort of funky smell I think when cooked or dried. The flavor is hard for me to describe. The best way I can describe it is that it makes me think of marshmallows as a texture, but the taste makes it seem a little bland with a hint of how it smells lol. That sounds good chicken of the woods parmagiana!

Im learning how to dry the puffball pieces and mash them into a powder as an additive to soups or whatever. I carried some of the dried cubes around letting friends smell it. None of them said can I try a piece? I dont blame em lol lot of dangerous shit out there. But they will eat a tomato or other veggies given to them. Its like a stigma surrounding wild food. often stereotyped as gamey.

Ive eaten lots of wild critters and sure things can taste gamey. I even eat snapping turtles. Got quite good at cleaning them and making stew or frying the backstraps. Mmmm See I like the 7 different tastes of the turtle. Some others however cringe at the thought of eating one

LOL. 7 different tastes of the turtle.
I bet that puffball was a bit older than prime, 'Nother fella said prime is 'bout softball size. Maybe if you find a younger one the experience will be more satisfactory.
I tend to dry anything that I don't think is prime, and then use it in other stuff.
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

yeah its documented snappers a.k.a cooters have seven distinct tastes of meat. the neck tastes different then the legs etc. good advice fry day! I saw that post with the softball comment. I think your right maybe it will be a better experience with a younger specimen. I like the idea of drying then using later. would like to get a food dehydrator
