looks like a giant puffball to me. If the inside is a marshmallow-like texture and is white it should be safe eats. Wait for someone else to confirm...

Looks like a species of puffball. Not sure which exact one.

From Arora's Mushrooms Demystified it looks like Calvatia bovista although Index Fungorum has a different name that cannot be it. You can look here and see if you recognize it.

Amanitas kill more people than all other mushrooms put together, so an ID of some to be eaten must be correct. An ID based on a photo on the Internets is not reliable enough to potentially risk your life on. ToxicMan

I want to thank you all for replying, it was a puffball/Calvatia Bovlista. I didn't know puffballs were a soft solid before turning into dust/spores!!! Thanx

I'm more familiar with them as Calvatia cyathiformis; they're a pretty good but bland eat. My best luck with them has been to slice and sautee them til brown for a 'shroom French toast.' Otherwise they can be used much like tofu...though I've been tempted to batter-dip and deep-fry them.
