Truffles

[Brute]

A friend just dropped these off and asked me if they were ate-able, if so how to cook, anyone know I have no idea

You don’t cook them…shave them razor thin onto pasta or soft eggs…or make risotto…

So do you know their name? Just a common name

I don't know the names of the different truffles...I only know that I like to eat them...

Those appear to be puffballs, not truffles. Generally speaking, puffballs are edible if solid white within the interior of the flesh. If discolored (yellow/brown) do not eat. Some people are adversely affected by them so I personally don’t mess with them.
