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.

It was on the surface of the ground.

Dried out like something had chewe it and left it half eaten. Very light in weight, couldn't see any gills on it

The nap reference for this picked up from my phone is completely wrong! It is The Ridge Road Surf Beach

@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.

I agree with Teresa's non-truffle suggestions.
