The fields around Lac des Roches contain treasures like this giant puff ball mushroom. Spotted June 12 which dwarfs the empty egg carton shown beside it. Giant puff balls are easy to identify by their appearance and large size, ranging from a large softball to a basketball. And, they are entirely edible. If the white “meat” of the mushroom is pure white, it is still good to eat. Later in it’s life cycle, it starts to turn brown from the inside and cannot be eaten. You can only know the quality of the puff ball by picking it and cutting it open.
