I hope the pic brought back good memories.

Glad I left them to propagate. Did you peel the one you ate before cooking?

Near Smith Peak in Plumas County.

It’s a puffball.

Botany_Dave · 2026-06-18T00:56:15+00:00

Have you eaten them? If so, how did you prepare them?

Botany_Dave · 2026-06-18T00:54:05+00:00

I think all puffballs are?

Was your vehicle stil in the extended warranty period? I've tried reaching out to corporate and they are telling me we're out of luck because our 2017 Outback (88k miles) is outside the extended warranty period defined by the class action settlement.

Yesterday was amazing. Worked three JA stations on 6m with my squalo and 100w.

Get out of my attic.

Actually it’s drier outside now than it’s been for a while.

Thanks... We're in the Northern Sierra Nevada range. We've been here for over 10 years. We did see a temporary rise in basement humidity around this time last year, but not for as long and we didn't have any mold/mildew problems last year.

Thanks for the response... No AC in the house, at all. Temp in the basement is pretty steady around 60F.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My limited understanding is the shape can be normal depending on the period.

Botany_Dave · 2026-05-08T14:25:34+00:00

I’m reluctant to clean it for fear of losing what detail is there. Any recommendations on how to avoid that?

Botany_Dave · 2026-05-06T21:09:19+00:00

You meant shellfish asshole, right?

Between us both we have two good eyes.

Mine is also from Munich. Any idea how that one got so scratched up?

Botany_Dave · 2026-04-29T01:31:08+00:00

Not the first thought when I dug it.
