John- You have to get puffballs when they are very fresh, before they mature. I used to eat them in my college days, but never the giant variety. They great thing about puffballs is that they are always safe...but you must slice them. If you see an outline of a mushroom inside- its not a puffball, so don't eat it. If its black inside, its a puffball relative that's inedible...not sure if its poisonous, but its not edible. If you see pure white, then you've good food. Puffballs are goo for people ho hate mushrooms, because they are fairly bland.
