I put a quarter on top, to give you an idea of its size.
You can see that some other photographer before me had put a smaller coin on it. I'm not sure if it was a nickel, penny, or dime. The puffball might have grown since its last photo shoot.
It looks like a crater on the moon.
I found it on a trail that had always been closed. It turned out that the sign had been relocated.

I've never seen puffballs in the flesh. Interesting post.
I returned last week. There wasn't a trace of it. When they're ripe, they're fun to kick around. Clouds of spores keep pouring out of them!
