yes and no, while both your spoting Rieko and this one are puffballs (lycoperdon) this one looks brown and rather scaly in surface, with a thin wall. on the other hand yours seems more smooth and with white flesh here is a website with an image similar to this http://people.duke.edu/~jspippen/fungi/m.... on your case could be that is lycoperdon mole or maybe perlatum. give it a search
