Was this entirely under the earth and you dug it up, or perhaps found it in a bird scraping? Or do I see part of a stem attachment? It appears to be aged and weathered like an older fungus such as scleroderma.
@LyndalT thanks for the updates; sorry I can't give any better info on this. throughout the Eurobodalla we have found many decomposing puff or earth balls lately, which is what I suspect this may be, doesn't look like a truffle to my eyes. Hope Pam or Heino or perhaps another contributor may offer a comment.
