White Puffballs?



These puffballs were covering a small red oak tree in Morgan Monroe State Forest in Indiana recently. There were 10 total completely encasing the branches they hung on. What are they?? Can I eat them? What are those rusty brown spots?

  1. I found these also, near Pulaski VA. They look like a parasitic plant.
