Such Bounty

With wild shouts they called me outside and held up the hat to impress me.





It was a king's share of puffballs to play with.

Ha! I feel like the biggest LOSER mother right now! I have always thought (because someone once told me and I made the mistake of taking their word for it) NEVER to touch those things because they had poisonous spores!

Loser. Mother. Who knows NOTHING. That's me.

They're not poisonous, but I tell my girls not to breath in the spores to be on the safe side. According to this article, it takes a LOT of spores to cause a problem, unless, of course, you have allergies. (There is a poison variety of fungus-- I forget which one-- that looks similar to puffballs. Maybe that's why you were warned.)
