All white puffballs are good to eat (i.e. non-poisonous, but
often bland) AS LONG AS the interior is white and homogeneous.
If the interior has begun to turn yellow (or purple or black)
DON'T EAT IT.
Also, if when you cut the 'puffball' open you find a mushroom 
shaped outline inside DON'T EAT IT. It's probably an undeveloped 
amanita.
