[@karldelavigne8134]

Foraging for mushrooms can be a very precarious business. I know an experienced forager who picked the wrong mushroom and now has to have regular dialysis. So be warned.

[@nickwills2284]

Absolutely. But Giant Puffballs are, in the UK at least, are one of the safest and most unmistakable fungi to identify. The Golden Rule is if you have any doubt then don't eat it.

[@karldelavigne8134]

@@nickwills2284 Yes, not so much these puff balls but other fungi.

[@gotskinn]

Absolutely..

@@nickwills2284 lol....I just noticed we said the same thing.

[@gotskinn]

Puffballs are pretty easy tho. you want a smooth exterior & white interior. I've done the spiny...but that can be dangerous waters. Smooth, white w correct root is all you gotta know.

[@nickwills2284]

Noooo!!!!! That would ruin it in minutes! The number of times I kicked them as a kid not knowing how delicious they were! If you make a good connection when they are at the right stage the spores come out in a big cloud- that's why they are called Puffballs!

wow amazing never seen a mushroom like that

[@edwardjohnson7059]

Damn!! I just found masses of these (a wheelbarrow full) around my fruit trees and threw the buggers in the bin. :(

[@MartinAhlman]

I will cook it, but not with the huge puffy mushroom. I live in Sweden and you can't find them here. But we have other mushrooms! I'll also skip the coriander as I am in the 14 % who find it tasting like Yes (other brands are available). Parsley instead. That sexy jam will come in handy for more than only this burger!!!

[@sydthegoat88]

It would be hard (as an Englishman) not to have the urge to just "boot" one of puff balls like a soccer ball if you found it sitting in a field.

[@EmInMI80]

I found a puffball the size of my head in my backyard last year, but it was past its prime. The kids and I had a good time spreading the spores around. My 5-year-old son kept saying the puffs of dark spores looked like "cartoon stink". I was sure we'd have puff balls everywhere this year but I haven't found any yet. I wonder if it takes a couple years for them to grow from the spores?

[@MikaelOE]

Coriander… blue cheese….. 🤣 Never in my life! But looks good, though.

[@beansock]

Well John 10/10 I would eat, but when you described the taste you mentioned everything except the mushroom! Is it just padding for the other ingredients? What does she taste like!

[@boester69]

Hi mate, not sure if you have the time for this, but could you write out the ingredients and amounts in the description of your vids? Would make it a ton easier to make a shopping list. Can follow the recipe itself by watching the video. Thanks for considering! ItP!

[@captainkeller2792]

damn its good to have u back. Missed those videos.

[@TheKaukas]

Think making this burger with polystyrene instead of that mushroom it would taste the same. Peppers, coriander, blue cheese.

[@mightylaser0000]

How about turning a puffball mushroom into buns or using them as a loaf of bread sorta like how people do with avocado as a bread replacement?

[@allthestroke88]

Hope your back and you and your mental health are back to as normal as can be. Do you need farm help? I have no experience, but could live on that view forever. Love and respect from Canada.

I'd have to leave out the Stilton, it is Satan's vomit, otherwise nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.

Love to see the mushroom sourcing. Brilliant chefs are great don't get me wrong but I like the more "down to earth" stuff.

I live in a pretty rural area in the North West of England with both woods and open fields nearby so I figure they should be around somewhere, but I've never seen any around here (and I think the largest I've ever seen anywhere was about the size of a tennis ball).

[@foodbusker]

🙏

[@etherdog]

JQ, are there unmistakable indicators that what one finds is indeed an edible puffball and not some look-alike that might make you sick (or worse)? Is there an etiquette for collecting them as we have here in the US when foraging for morels or other mushrooms, that you collect them in a mesh bag so the spores can be distributed whilst traipsing through the countryside?

[@foodbusker]

There the easiest of the 🍄family to forage as there’s no impersonators. Mesh bag is a great idea mate 👍

[@mydear6788]

Nice, will do it plus adding bacon

[@Nearnface]

wowowoowow

[@SaorAlba1970]

never seen a mushroom like that Chef ..... but will i cook it/eat it the answer is no ... i don't like mushrooms but tomorrow i will be making a chicken burger with a chicken breast & panko bread crumb lightly shallow fried in olive oil then cooked in the oven then slice open a Scottish home made morning roll (as i like to bake my own breads & scones) and actual tomatoes from my mates garden and some rocket leaves instead

[@foodbusker]

D to the Lish

[@johnpurtill9103]

Always wanted to forage for my own mushrooms but I'd be too scared to pick a poisonous one by mistake! I am confident with morels though because I have done that before.

[@foodbusker]

Puff balls are the entry level forage mushroom as it’s so distinguishable & no impersonators

[@drdradra]

looked really good on my list to try frfr.

[@AnatharFrost013]

While this does indeed look wonderful about the only thing from the 'burger" I would eat would be the bun. Not a fan of anything else that went into what looks to be a fine meal.
