You should just be careful if there is no holes made by worms in there, then you souldn't eat it. It's not poisonous but it will probably taste bad. To know, you bite it in the middle to check.
It grows during the end of august and start of september.
It's not too sweet unless it's dried up.
They are red when grown and green when not. Some are both: part green, part red.
