Should be something like the Lycopedon genre, and a mature one (especially if matured by kicking;), but I only know the european species. Nice shot, anyway

We used to refer to the kinds of rapidly built apartment buildings that appeared suddenly on campus as "mushroom pads." This is richer than a puffball.
Oh my word isn't it unusual I can see why you took the picture :) Cathy xoxoxo

thats an interesting looking mushroom and to me looks more like a cake of some description :o)..excellent capture richard mick
heehee...nice name
Literally the same comment as of 1402dandoy. Must be an American Lycoperdon, Bovista, Calvatia, Langermannia... (puffballs). Maybe the most similar European species is Calvatia utriformis (C. caelata). Less likely but not impossible may be Scleroderma (earth-balls). Most puffballs are edible when young (section is white). Certainly not at this stage. If you can manage to get Audobon's Field Guide of American Mushrooms and check the above genuses, you wll probably find it.
heavens only knows what is in it but I agree it does look like a muffin lol:!leave it to you to find such a thing lol;
