    Default Puffballs

    I know here on the site it states that puffballs have no medicinal value but they certainly used to. Here in the UK, the old, leathery ones (full of dark brown, dry spores) were strung up by the forge where they would keep dry. If someone cut themselves, a puff of the spores soon staunched the bleeding, aided clotting and seemed to keep infection at bay.

    The ones we used here were about the size of your fist, smooth but leathery to look at when fully mature. Not particularly tasty when white but not bad, better battered or cooked in a stew rather than on their own.

    One of my favorite puffballs is Wolf Farts. Nothing throws spores like them!

    I guess I didn't know about any medicinal uses for puff balls, but they sure are good fried in butter.
    Haven't found a bad one yet, but don't wait till they turn.
    Gotta be fresh, (looks like white bread on the inside)

    DW always wants me to keep out a piece of what ever I'm gathering, and eating to show the rescue squad guys, so they know what to treat.

    Seems your trouble may be self inflicted.
