"Puff Balls"
The article says "Earth Balls are superficially similar to, and considered look-alikes of the edible Puff Balls, but whereas the Puff Ball has a single opening on top through which the spores are dispersed...." The second part of that sentence seems to treat "puff ball" as a single entity (reinforced by the capitalization of Puff Balls), but puffballs are a multi-order category of fungi, only some of which are edible. I'm not sure if the sentence means some specific puffball, like the giant puffball, or if it means puffballs in general, and that their superficial similarity only applies to the edible varieties of those puffballs. -Agyle 15:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Edibility
In eastern Europe, young earthballs (Scleroderma citrinum) with a white gleba, are being used in *small* amounts as spice. The flavour is similar to truffle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.242.49 (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Use of common earth ball as erzatz truffle
According to Rick Stein, certain unscrupulous restaurateurs in London peel common earth balls, slice them thinly, marinate them in truffle oil and pass them off as black truffle. Has anyone else heard of this practice? 124.170.252.20 (talk) 07:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
