Arlanda thank you so much! this makes part of my childhood and now I was having a hard time figuring out the species! I found a Portuguese forum and they confirmed your ID =) they are called wolfs farts so i always though them to be from the genus lycoperdon... but no! Thank You =)

I do not think it is a wolf's farts. Check PISOLITHUS ARHIZUS

I am almost sure. The proof would be a cutting of the mushroom
