Giant what?

Yup Giant puffballs. Today I was strolling along on my usual walk round through the woods and back over the fields and I as I stepped over a stile I saw some bizarre looking shiny, round, white things nestled in the grass. Being attracted to shiny things I wandered over to see what they were and immediately recognized the edible giant puffball. I gathered a few into my arms, not even the biggest ones which were huge, Art and I may go back for those later, and staggered back across the field inhaling their delightful mushroom scent. As I got to the playing filed some kids yelled at me are those birds? No I replied mushrooms. To the question of where I got them, oh a long way away. On my return home I checked each of my books on mushrooms and on edible foods and there is no doubt these are giant edible puffball mushrooms. I just can't wait for lunchtime so I can fry one up in butter and devour it without mercy!

PS phone is for scale!
