Scleroderma verrucosum
Small Puffball of some kind, about quarter size (1in. or slightly less) diameter.
growing in leaf litter, in pine and oak wood, with undergrowth of sabal palms, palmettos, and ferns mostly.
In the last pic, I removed some of the leaf litter from around it and laid it on its side. You can see the "base stalk" and some of the white mycelium. Found already "popped"
