Vorterøyksopp | Common puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)

Lots of spiky warts were no match for a slug that went all the way to the top and took a deep bite and then went off. You can see the shiny and dry slime in several places on the cap.

As a kid I had lots of fun with the mature puffballs and made lots of smoke bombs. At that stage they are way past edible, but during their early and all-white stage they are edible and by many considered a delicacy.
