Lab 5 Journal Entry

The fungi I chose to research is the giant puffball (calvatia gigantea) which is most commonly found in Canada and the United States. These mushrooms are safe to eat and while some say they have no taste, others have described their taste as rich, earthy, and nutty. Harvesting these puffballs, people need to be careful not to misidentify another mushroom as the giant puffball, or eat one of the wrong age. Another use for giant puffballs is using it as medicine, which is not a common use today but was a common use of the Lakota tribe of Native Americans. The tribe used the dry spores to aid in blood clotting and as a way to protect the body from infections that could enter through cuts in the skin.
