Hello! I found this specimen in my lawn here in Zone 5b, ---, MT. It was growing amidst the grass near a blue spruce tree. I have seen many of these each year all over my property, especially in the grass of my lawn and out in the cow pastures to either side.

This is one of the smaller ones I have found this year being about half the size of the largest one I've seen yet. It's maybe an inch across. They're all completely white all the way through eventually turning brown with age. (The outside stays eggshell white though.)

I'm fairly confident it's a Calvatia puffball, but I have no idea how to determine the individual species. I have eaten these before sauteed in butter and they're quite good. I was made aware that they're edible by a farmer friend actually.

The reason I'd like to know the exact species is because I'm going to try and isolate/culture this one on agar and then hopefully transfer a resulting wedge to grain.

This is usually the latest I can find ones that are still young enough to eat.

Probably a Bovista.
