Not been out for a few weeks, but had the urge this afternoon. Frustratingly, fields are now being ploughed, but none I'm interested in. So I decided to once again try the Deus in programme P5, on an old pasture field, that I have hammered over the years. The only find of note was a late medieval bronze thimble. Food wise though a different story. Last Tuesday it rained heavily for over 24 hours non stop. This rain, caused these super sized mushrooms to sprout on the pasture field. I cut them in to steaks and fry them in butter, they taste great. So all in all, a good afternoon. Robert.

We have them here in Illinois Kurious. They are called Puff Balls. After a week or two, when they start to dry up if you kick them they will explode with a brown dust. (That's when you know its not good to eat) ! They are excellent tasting if you pick them at the right time as Rob seems to have done. Congrats on your food find Rob !

So that's what those are! I found some in my yard one day and took an axe to them immediately! I thought it was some kind of alien invasion! :alien: I'm not joking either... :tard:
