I found them at the park, slightly sticking out of the dirt/grass. which is what made me doubt they are truffles since truffles are usually under ground and usually not in parks right?

What you think?

Never mind actually, guess they could be in parks. Its just a matter of which trees they grow by right?

Cut it in half and let us see a cross section.

There would be some pretty well developed stinkhorn parts in there at this point...what with the cracking and all. I could be wrong.
I suspect it's some type of puffball. I haven't read to much about them.

Could be Rhizopogon. Nothing edible I'd say.
