These large mushrooms will make just about anyone look twice, but it turns out they are fairly common this time of year.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources identified the mushrooms in these photos as "Puffball Mushrooms."

They were found by Kathy Fleisher while mowing a lawn just north of Cortland along State Route 5.

ODNR says Puffball Mushrooms vary greatly in size. Smaller ones are more common, but they can grow up to 27 inches wide and tall. They can be found in clusters or individually.

According to the Ohio State University Extension Office, these mushrooms are most common in late August to early October.

Eric Barrett with the OSU Extension Office in Mahoning County says the extra moisture the last couple of weeks have created a great climate for the mushrooms to grow.

And, yes! Barrett says the Puffball Mushroom is edible.
