With a stipe like this it is not Giant Puffball but Lycoperdon (Calvatia) utriformis. Not as convinced with your other suggestion KT - the Rollrim

I've been wrong with my ID of Calvatia gigantea in the past then. Must find those images and amend them- thank you Mal  |

That's very kind of you to say that Mal  Thank you. I wouldn't say I'm upset about getting it wrong, It happens lots  Just glad that I can now ID this species more accurately in the future thanks to your info! Thanks |

I've checked all my books now and Calvatia utriformis is right for habitat, but it was rather larger than the books suggest. What about Calvatia excipuliformis? |

I suggested brown roll rim because I saw one similar to number 3 a few weeks ago on a foray and it was IDed as brown roll rim  |

That's not Paxillus mate, that's Lactarius turpis  |

What about Calvatia excipuliformis? | The utriformis that I have found have tended to be squat with a short thick stipe whereas excipuliformis have tended to be have a long relatively thin stipe.
