largest is approx. 4 inches; solid white flesh
spotted in grass near oaks on riverfront property
After two days the fungi began to yellow, but remained firm (3rd photo). The one that I sliced maintained its color as well as its firmness.

I think Emma is right about the truffles, no offence, auntnance123.
Perhaps something closer to Calvatia craniformis or Scleroderma
Thanks for the info on spore vents. Because they are so symmetrically placed,they very well could be " Spore Vents" Though insects are known to eat and as a result help in dispersal,i don't think that they would eat so systematically.
I have a recent similar spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/141... From my reading the holes are spore vents.

I sort of compared it to this,which someone suggested could be a truffle kind of fungi.
Hmm. I thought truffles were only found underground.
Auntnance,looks like a variety of truffles? White truffles.brown truffles?
