Calvatia Gigantea, or a “puffball mushroom”. It appeared in the middle of our front lawn without assistance from my green thumb. It was the size of a football. Maybe not, but it was big. According to a website on mushrooms, it’s edible. I was curious? Maybe it would introduce me to astral travel like it did Alice. Or I’d end up in the ER. It was not a risk I want to take so I threw into the trash and ate a yogurt from the fridge instead.
