Can you eat a giant puffball mushroom?
Yes, you can eat a giant puffball when it is young and the flesh is pure white, as it is considered a choice edible mushroom. It's important to consume it before it ages and the flesh becomes yellow and crumbly, which indicates it's no longer good to eat. Always ensure correct identification and consult an expert if in doubt, as there are toxic look-alikes.
