More pictures available if needed. I broke a few open that were in rougher shape and they are solid white and spongy all the way through. Found in open woods in West Kentucky.

Thinking about frying these up and seeing how they taste but want a bit more assurance that I'm not taking a huge risk doing so. I couldn't find these in my National Audubon Society Field Guide so I'm a bit reluctant to take the chance.

Do you know what these are? I'm not dead yet, lol. I've been keeping these in my fridge until I can be more sure that they're safe.

Honestly not really, they look like "puffers" which is a rough translation from where I come from. But also different some greyish crust is quite concerning. We don't eat them and I wouldn't recommend it. I could be 100% wrong too

Are they quite soft to touch?

Very soft, like a marshmallow.

Yeah they're what I thought, not worth eating
