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.
