Hoosierfunguy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 It looks to be a Purple spore puffball. They are probably the only puffball i enjoy eating with a really rich mushroom flavor. But you never want to eat any puffballs that don't have solid white flesh. There's also a toxic look alike called a pigskin poison puffball. The outer layer looks a little different, but they are small in size and similar in color. When in doubt, throw it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Christensen Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm pretty sure that you dug up a non edible variety of a truffle. Tuber canaliculatum is the edible Michigan truffle that we assume exists in Indiana but not documented yet. Google for more information.
