With puffballs, the definitive way to know what they are for sure is to slice them in half. If they're white all the way through, it's a puffball. If there's anything else inside, it's probably a young version of something with a stem that you shouldn't eat.

Puffballs that are past their prime to eat sometimes brown on the inside too, so if there's any discoloration, don't fuck with it.

Ah very interesting! I think puffballs grow around here but I've never gone out foraging, and I don't think I've ever tasted one. Maybe some day...
