Are they poisonous? I read online they are. We have dogs.

The puff balls are really hard now and have dried out.  There was one I could open.  The inside is like a purple color.  If I find a fresh one growing I'll cut it open and post pics.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/XOLnlN7zAj7KJ2sh1

Thanks I'll do that.  I found a good video, here is the link: http://www.survivallandusa.com/Giant-Puffball-Mushrooms.html
There were some puffballs in the video that look exactly like the ones I have.  I'll cut it open and attach photos soon.  Thanks again

Thank you for the great feedback!! I took some more photos. I really appreciate your help.

Does anyone know if my apple tree is okay. The trunk and branches look really red. There is also a white mold growing at the base of the trunk. There are some strange looking mushrooms growing near the base of the tree.
