Where to look: common puffball
A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.
About the species. Edible only when young and pure white inside. Cut every specimen in half before taking it for food. A mature puffball becomes yellow, olive or brown inside and should not be eaten. Young Amanitas can look like puffballs from the outside but show the developing cap, gills and stem when cut open. Earthballs have a firm, dark interior and are not edible.
