GIANT PUFFBALL MUSHROOM CRUST PIZZA
Giant Puffballs are edible wild mushrooms that grow in poor moist soil in the fall. These mushrooms grow abuntantly in my own yard and I never knew they were edible until my friend, who has a knack for edible plants told me so. BE AWARE THAT MANY WILD MUSHROOMS ARE POISONOUS. You should never consume a wild mushroom unless you have confirmed with an expert that they are indeed edible. Puffballs are one of the few unmistakable wild mushrooms, but if they have begun to spore, you canot eat them. FMI: http://americanmushrooms.com/edibles3.htm My friend Ed and I created this pizza recipe. You can use any of your favorite pizza toppings. This recipe was a great find for me, since mushrooms are virtually carb free, and I am eating a low carb diet.

Steps:
- Wash the Giant Puffball and remove the outer leathery skin like layer. If you see the puffball has begun to spore, throw it away. Wash off any left over dirt.
- Slice the Giant Puffball into 3/4 inch slices (the best you can) I like to use the slices in the middle because they are bigger. Use 2 slices for the recipe. Freeze or dehydrate any remaining puffball immediately or it will not be good the next day.
- Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of each slice. Place the slices on your gas grill. Turn the slices over carefully. They should be slightly crispy on both sides and you should be able to see the grill marks. Puffballs are very moist and spongy and it is necessary to remove some of the moisture with this process.
- Lightly spread tomato pizza sauce (you may also use pesto sauce on your pizza or make sauceless pizza. If you use sauce on your pizza, place a very small amount because the mushroom will still be very moist.
- Cover the top of your pizza with shredded cheese and your favorite toppings. The amount of toppings will depend on the size of your slices.
- Place the slices on a sheet pan covered with tin foil.
- Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven until the cheese turns slightly brown on the top and all of your toppings are cooked through. Again, the length of cooking time depends on how many topings you put.
