Yeah ,,, a proper dog. I have one, too; and a domestic short-hair female cat, a runt rescued from a woodpile mother who'd lost her milk. They're the same age (5) and working out a relationship -- I think she likes it ruff!

Yup. BTW The successive dips of Flour (flavoured with poultry seasoning and salt), then beaten egg thinned with milk, then Panko crumbs makes a fine fritter out of 1/2" sliced Giant Puffball. Very tasty.

I've found them to be pretty sloppy -- there is no texture once the rind is peeled, just the undifferentiated interior spore mass. I'm going to try sauteeing them with Panko and parsley dip after the flour and egg dip stages -- attempt to crisp/firm them up.

Big ones (Calvatia), smaller ones (Lycoperdon), poisonous ones (Scleroderma), fatal look-alikes (immature Amanitas) -- grab yourself the Audubon Field Guide to Mushrooms if you're curious and read it thoroughly before you act on any of that curiosity. The book covers our shared geography...

Mmmmmm Gooood! I just picked three, one per grocery bag. I left the other 1 1/2 footers there for someone else. I guess :chef: fritters tonight and some :pig: duxelles for later. I truly am sorry about your luck.
