yarb commented on the word giant puffball
As a young whelp I discovered, in a bramble-ridden copse close to my home, a clutch of abnormally large giant puffballs. For some strange reason my father called the local newspaper, and a photographer came to take our picture - me, one or more siblings, and the giant puffballs.

For some strange reason--perhaps the same strange reason--this lovely story doesn't surprise me at all.

They're very tasty, too, you know, sauteed with butter and onions or what you will (but the smaller giant puffballs are better for eating than the really humongous ones).
