These gorgeous Indiana mushrooms are legendary. Growing up to 10 lbs in the right conditions, they truly do live up to the name Giant Puffball.

As always, great care is taken to gather sustainably. They are then peeled, hand broken into pieces, and dried the same day to ensure freshness. Once dried, they are stored in an air-tight container until they are shipped to you!

Latin Binomial: Calvatia gigantea
Common Name: Giant Puffball, Puffball

These little beauties have many uses in the kitchen. A small amount can impart an immense amount of umami flavor to any dish!

A few uses I suggest are:

Adding texture as a dry topping to your favorite salad
Dredge them in seasoned flour and fry them after rehydrating for vegetarian popcorn chicken
Tossed dry into soups (~15 minutes before it is done) to provide some meaty texture
Powder them for flavoring & thickening gravies and stews
Using rehydrated pieces as a nutritious alternative to tofu

The possibilities are limited only by your culinary imagination!
