The Friday Fungus: Calvatia gigantea


The giant puffball is one of the super mushrooms - you won't find many mushrooms that, on their own, can feed a family of ten but Calvatia gigantea is that mushroom. So long as it is fresh (when it has white flesh) the giant puffball - like nearly all puffballs - is edible. As ever our friends at Wild About Mushrooms tell you what to look for and how to cook and preserve these champion fungi.
