wud have liked to see from the side. could it be common puffball, gem-studded puffball or devil's snuff-box (Lycoperdon perlatum) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoperdon_perlatum German name Flaschenbovist, edible, when young. Gem-studded puffballs are considered to be a choice edible mushroom when young and the gleba is homogeneous and white. They become inedible as they mature: the gleba becomes yellow-tinged, then finally develops into a mass of powdery olive-green spores.
