These are great to eat. The western giant puffball is one of my favorite summer mushrooms. Great shot!
You do make a solid point, however i can confirm that this is Coloro because 1) i have hunted and raised this species before and 2) The habitat that these were found in is an uncanny match to the species. Also, it helps when you have a professional entomologist as a father haha. This would be the best reference to double check my find.

Not a problem! Glad i could be of service!
I have hunted these before and they are quite beautiful. Down in southern utah we get the Speyeria Nokomis which is distinctly unique in that the males and females look nothing like each other. Great shot!
Keepin' up the oxygen levels. Thanks Japanese Maple tree :)
Beautiful specimen!
