Unless you're describing a specificly European puffball, since when are they
even mildly toxic? And, when do you peel them? The ones I harvest here in the
US, all you do to them is slice them and use them. Either they're usable
(solid white flesh) or they're not (varying amounts of the interior has
turned to spores- usually the entire inside, but occasionally you catch one
in transition).
