Fungi February: The common puffball is only edible while immature, before the spores inside turn brown. The spores expelled by the mature puffball can cause lung irritation if inhaled. Because it accumulates heavy metals, it can be a bioindicator of soil pollution.

Disclaimer: Don’t rely on pictures of cute mushrooms with eyes to accurately identify edible mushrooms. At best the wrong one will taste bad, at worst it’ll be deadly!
