Fungi Friday: what is this thing?

This monster grew in the yard of a home I was renting in Folsom, California. It was about five inches tall. I have never seen anything like it.

I had to dissect it, to see what it looked like inside.

It was powdery like cocoa inside. Trippy!

It is definitely an alien! :D
What a cool find! :)

I think its a baked potato! alien baked potato, to be precise. very intresting how it could taste. I will not try myself, tho -- i am not an alien...

@borjan, @sketch.and.jam, @ewkaw, come have a look at this weird creature.

It is probably some kind of puffball

@nikv Thanks for the info...after looking into puffballs, I believe you are right. So interesting!
