Calvatia gigantea · didysis kukurdvelkis
The fruiting body of a puffball mushroom will develop within the period of a few weeks and soon begin to decompose and rot, at which point it is dangerous to eat. Young are edible while interior is white and firm, very faint, pleasant odour, no distinctive taste.
Puffballs are a known styptic and have long been used as wound dressing, either in powdered form or as slices 3 cm thick. The fungus was often harvested prior to battles for this purpose.
Lietuvoje retas, nerinkite, vaisiakūniai gali užaugti iki 10 kg, jauni valgomi. Vaisiakūnis iš pradžių būna baltas, sendamas gelsvėja. Paviršius lygus ar apaugęs smulkiais, minkštais plaukeliais. Bręstant vaisiakūniui, luobelė sutrūkinėja į atskirus gabalus ir grybas pamažu suyra. Auga ganyklose, parkuose, soduose, miškų pakraščiuose.
