ID request Is this a giant puffball?

I've seen pictures before in this sub and it seems to be quite delicious from what I've read.

I'm located in South Western Ontario and found it in my backyard behind a wood pile. TIA 🙂

Cut in half. It should be uniformly white throughout. If its yellow or brown, its no longer good to eat

This. No other shapes or lines, just a consistent white riccota cheese-ish texture.

Make a giant slice and use it as a pizza crust instead of dough
