Giant Puffball Mushroom ~ Hunt, Identify, Cook ~ Minnesota Mushrooms

[@moukafaslouka4796]

I have just harvested several puffball mushrooms. It rained for a few days in the Chicago area. I went to the woods today and found hundreds of giant puffball mushrooms. I harvested 4 because that's all I could carry. I will cook them tomorrow.

Wow your lucky man

So how did it taste?

[@James-hd6ez]

​@@alchannel009Hi I have just found some today in a field full of cows who were watching me pick them I then went inside a cut them into 1×2 inch square pieces fried them for 5 minutes in Garlic butter with some salt and black pepper and they were absolutely delicious! Try them and you won't be disappointed, enjoy 😉

I salted and peppered mine and sauteed with potatoes and eggs for breakfast. Delicious!

Just found some puffballs today and this video was very helpful!! Thanks :D

[@nancyincanada5553]

Before you zoomed in on that mushroom, I thought it was a cauliflower! LOL I thought you were just joking. I've never seen a mushroom like that before. Very interesting video...thanks!

[@Magicaldiscgolf]

So, a big massive thanks. I was looking for an easy quick recipe for my giant puffballs. There is it. Amazing

[@carstenzierden]

Nice recipes, I collect giant puff pastry recipes. Here in Germany, everyone seems to only know giant puffball schnitzel. They're not my thing.

[@grassypants4450]

Thanks for the information, never tried them before but having found a couple this morning thought I'd better cook em up. 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hunting mushrooms all my life here in indiana, last year i came across 4 of these giants and soccer ball kicked them because of what my dad told me... they were poisonous, to say the least im pissed now lol.... I will be going back to that spot this year and trying these bad boys out

[@uthermaceanruig5098]

Just cooked one up last week. Split it with two other friends because a basketball sized puffball is way too much for me to eat by myself. I only have to go as far as my back yard to harvest them. Lol

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Great video! Have heard you can eat these but never knew how to do it!

[@taniakeldin]

Appreciated vegetarian suggestions.

[@rashard4]

Just found 3 here in the Cedar Lake Woods, Mpls😊🥂

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s awesome. You should check out the video I just uploaded today where we made puffball pizzas.

[@TheGoodHeart1000]

Awesome job! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@tammiematthews6441]

Try using it to replace tofu in recipes

[@mjaf]

We found 4 puffballs today in the forest.

[@MicahSJ]

Lol just moved to the twin cities and harvested a huge giant puffball in a park here

[@indianacreekwalker4474]

Twin Cities, how does this taste compare to a morel?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

It’s hard to explain, they just taste like two completely different mushrooms kind a like all vegetables taste differently and all fruit taste differently.

[@leoniefrancis1621]

Yum

[@fisher9276]

making me hungry

[@gc-cat4142]

[@EnLightEnd1111]

Be good as a steak .. Little bit of Worcestershire sauce in the pan with it

[@EnLightEnd1111]

Little bit of thyme too ☺️😋

[@golightly2204]

Where did you find this mushroom? I love mushrooms and if it's easy to find something like this, I'm all for it.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

They are in season right now. I just went for a hike in the woods to find it. you should watch these two clips also if you like mushrooms. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIfFeqOBetKertU kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4bClayFn6aDe6s

[@hernancordon315]

Can you eat it raw?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I don’t think you’re supposed to eat raw mushrooms out of the wild.

[@zacharylovelady9265]

It looks like tofu

[@minimo500]

Haha vegan chicken 👍
