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.

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...
