Actually a Giant Puffball Mushroom the size of a soccer
ball. Very strange to see them in the woods.

Gosh, my toes are itching! When I was a kid, I used to wait until these matured, and then gave them a good swift kick - lots of black spores.
If you find them when they are young and pre-sporulation, some puffballs are edible and tasty, I understand.

When I saw my first one years ago I thought what on earth is a soccer ball doing out in the middle of the woods lol
From a short distance they look just like that, very out place in the woods.

I used to see a lot of these when I was a lad in Connecticut, but none in Maryland. Most were smaller than a golfball, and occasionally the size of a softball. Yours is unreal. If I kicked it, I'd be laid up with allergies for a month.
