that bit on the ground puzzles me but some earthballs split up a bit I think when they get older. Here's a photo that's labelled as S. citrinum that looks a bit more similar to yours for what it's worth: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sm_x2DGvVfc/TN...
If it's an Agaric (and not gasteroid like Scleroderma) then I'm thinking about the Snakeskin amanita, Amanita ceciliae
I agree that there are some similarities to that species but this one seems more like it's wrinkled, not textured with bumps so much. I also can't find ones that have the bottom edge that is the same, where it looks like parts are peeling away from the body of the fungus (if it is a fungus). If you look at the right side you can see there is a part that is laying flat on the ground.
Great cache Forestdragon,i agreed with Rat.tumour aka lipase
see this spotting that i maked in last december,it's more yellow,but they changed colour with time http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/171...
Maybe Scleroderma citrinum or similar sp.
