“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big mushroom,” confesses Guillaume Fouché, a 49-year-old mason and passionate about mushroom picking. This resident of Longeville-sur-Mer, who is used to picking chanterelles around his town, had left to harvest his favorite mushrooms on Monday, November 18, when he came across giant puffballs. “I found three, the biggest is over 3 kilograms! “, explains the enthusiast who did not fail to cook his finds that very evening. “It’s very good. Simply cut the puffballs into steaks and grill them in a pan with garlic and parsley. » A very good achievement for this enthusiast but far from reaching the national record. Puffballs can in fact weigh up to 18 kilograms, true giants.
