Puffball or earthball?


Here in Kent puffballs are in plentiful supply. And whilst they’re relatively straightforward to identify, they can be confused with earthballs.

So here’s a few pointers on figuring out if it’s a puffball or earthball.

We look at telling if it’s a puffball or earthball on our 1 day foraging course as well as on our IOL Bushcraft Competency Diploma course.

You can see plenty of photos from both courses, as well as all our others, on our Facebook page.
