September 12th – These were incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.

In a field near Harlaston, I spotted their bright white shapes as I sped past. A quick about turn, and I found the largest puffball fungus I’ve ever seen.

Almost pristine, largely globular shaped and the size of a small football, they were like some alien egg rather than fungi, but looking them up at home they are clearly giant puffballs.

The looked like plaster casts. 

A real find – and apparently edible.
