    Now open it and breathe deeply. Welcome it into you. Become one with it.

        If step 1 is have a bite and step 2 is to have open communication with an entity from another universe, then we can ignore any previous instruction. I think. I am confused now, anyways.

        Oh thanks, saved. Will break this image out next time it happens, though I usually end up dying from getting into desperate situations looking for antifungals before it gets to this point.

    Damn, that’s beautiful. I’ve never found one larger than a golf ball. Delicious sliced and sauteed in butter!

    Where was this generally, if I may ask?

    I did find a cauliflower mushroom this past Thanksgiving about the size of my chest though… So great as noodles in a chicken broth soup!

      This was before either of us knew about mycology so after this picture we put it back on the ground… 😔

      I don’t remember exactly where. At the time we were living in Asheville, NC, though, so that should give an idea of the general area

        Aha, much much further south and east, maybe that has something to do with it.

        White puffers grow all across North America IIRC, but I’m on West Coast Canada (Pacific Northwest but over the border). It’s a lot cooler here.

        I would freaking lose my mind if I found a puffer that big. Keep an eye out ;)

      I tried to fry one… Unfortunately not the best taste or smell in these big bois, the house reeked of it.

      Cauliflower mushroom however is delicious! The bacon of the forest!
