It’s too bug-eaten to tell if it’s all-white on the inside. I would avoid it because you can’t really sight-ID it.

Bug eaten? I didn’t see any sign of bugs when I opened it up, but I assume you’re saying a puffball should be completely solid inside? I’ve never even seen a puffball before so I really have no idea what to expect.
Regarding the shell, I should have mentioned that this one is only about 2.75" across, so it’s still pretty small. Does that make a difference?

The holes on the inside say bugs to me. Puffballs are usually white. I know it’s small, but the shell still looks too big, should be eggshell thin.
Imo, there are safer and tastier mushrooms out there. Like a king bolete or an oyster mushroom.

I’m actually growing pink and blue oysters myself, but I’m always looking at what’s growing around me. I’ve seen half a dozen different types just in my yard, but I’ve always heard that puffballs were really good so I thought I’d give this one a chance if it could be identified. I’m still curious for an identification if there’s any other info I can provide that might help.
