Meadow Puffball
A small whitish puffball of lawns, pastures and dunes with a short, stump-like sterile base separated from the spore mass by a membrane (diaphragm). Young specimens have a scurfy skin. It is edible only while the interior is pure white.
Edible cooked when young and white throughout. Cut every one in half: an Amanita button shows a cap and gills outline (deadly), and earthballs (Scleroderma) are dark and firm inside (poisonous). Discard any with yellowing or dark flesh.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
