Not at this stage. The large white mushrooms are edible when young but as
the spores mature (as in my photo), they will give you severe stomach
cramps.
According to the Wikipedia, these giant puffballs can grow to be 10 to 70
centimetres (3.9 to 28 in) in diameter, although occasionally some can
reach diameters up to 150 centimetres (59 in) and weights of 20 kilograms
(44 lb).
So, as they go, this was a small one... but it is still the largest
mushroom I've ever seen!
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
Cheers!
