    Most puffballs are safe to eat, although rare reactions have been reported. Assuming you have obtained reliable puffballs, you should still follow these steps before eating them:


    They must be all-white inside. Any shade of yellow or purple makes them inedible or upsetting.When cut, they must have a uniform internal consistency. The external appearance of immature Amanita species is similar to puffballs. However, the cap and gills of these unexpanded mushrooms become apparent when the egg-shaped fungi are cut in half. The Amanita genus includes the most poisonous species of mushrooms.

    I wouldn't eat these if you paid me.
