Anyone else having a great year for puffball mushrooms? [View all]

I'm in south central WI.

We missed a few last week as they came in a little early and weren't watching for them...so we had some beach-ball sized 'shrooms that were good for pictures and nothing else. B ut this week we've collected a couple dozen beauties as they reached size of 12 inch softballs. Today there were dozens more just starting to poke through the leaves.

Too many for us as we slice them into shroom filets then saute freeze them. We really can't spare room in the freezer for more...

We've had years where we didn't get anything. We've never had such a good year as this and it's really given us a chance to be choosy taking pretty much only those in perfect condition
