Lycoperdon perlatum
Common Puffball
Also known as Flaschenstäubling
Inedible / unclearA genuinely tricky call: edible while pure white inside, but worthless once the flesh yellows — and young puffballs must always be sliced to rule out a baby Amanita.
Inedible / unclear in this game means: Not eaten: too tough, too bitter, worthless, or of genuinely disputed/unknown status.
