Witch's Egg? ;-)

With Halloween coming up, I thought of witches and the like, hence this title.

I discovered this 'egg' right beside the blossoming heather in my previous photo! It is the poisonous Common earthball, also called the Pigskin poison puffball. Its colour varies, ranging from almost white to ochre, but I love this bright yellow one!

I've just discovered that 'Witch's Egg' is in fact an existing name for a mushroom: the Stinkhorn. So: I do know this is not a Stinkhorn - my title is intended as a joke.
