yep . I think your right. lycoperdon perlatum - common puffball.
I know this because I posted a thread asking for ID of the exact same thing!   |

How tall was this ?
Lycoperdon perlatum sometimes has a more dense/darker area at the very top of the 'cap'.
If it measures over 80mm tall, then think Lycoperdon excipuliforme.

Fungi aren't things I generally photograph much due to difficulty getting down to them. well actually that's not true it's the getting up again that is the difficult bit  . Oh to be a youngster again

Neil. | I'm not good at guessing heights Neil, but I would have said smaller than 80mm
Thanks

In that case then, almost certainly L. perlatum.
