White ball. Description - Help
    #5802651 - 06/29/06 10:05 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I was mowing the lawn today and saw this white ball. At first I thought it was a golf ball. It was growing on a mixture of mulch and grass. I live in upstate NY. I cut it open and it was all white inside. I could squeeze it without it breaking.

Anyone have any ideas?

It's a puffball. I'm not aware of any non-edibles, as long as the inside is white and not discolored in any way.

Sounds like a puffball. The all white ones are edible, but not one of my favorites.

Two ideas spring to mind. One is that it could be a puffball (google it). The other is a young amanita. When they first start growing they often look exactly like small puffballs until they break through their universal veils. This characteristic has lead to some poisonings with people thinking they have a tasty puffball. If you cut one of those amanita buttons length-wise, you can see the immature mushroom inside, like it's about to hatch from an egg. A puffball will just be solid inside.
