FAQs about giant puffball mushrooms
Although giant puffball mushrooms are best eaten right after they are harvested, their large size usually means that you may find it difficult to use it all before it goes bad. One of the best ways to preserve it is by cutting thin slices, dehydrating them, and re-hydrating them whenever you want to use them. If you have room in your refrigerator, the most effective way to store a giant puffball mushroom is to chill it whole, as soon as possible after it's picked.
Giant puffball mushrooms don't necessarily have exact spots in which they grow and instead tend to appear wherever the wind carried their spores. In North America, they usually appear in meadows and around forest openings, around autumn. However, the wind can carry them over long distances, and it's not uncommon that they appear in urban areas, in well-fertilized pieces of land such as lawns.
It takes a few weeks for the giant puffball mushroom's fruity body to develop. Once it has, it soon starts to decompose, making it unsafe to eat. The main reason it quickly decomposes is its high protein content, making it more prone to rotting and emitting bad odors.
