Brown Puffball - Bovista nigrescens
Ok, back to October and the Fungi foray i went on.
This is Bovista Nigrescens or Brown puffball.
The fruiting body is 3 to 6 cm across and is attached to the substrate by a single mycelial cord which often breaks, leaving the fruit body free to roll about in the wind. The outer wall is white at first, but soon flakes off in large scales at maturity to expose the dark purple-brown to blackish inner wall that encloses the spore mass.
