What is that Tim?
It's a giant puffball mushroom. Edible and seen mostly in August and September here, if we've had enough moisture.
I cut them in steaks, brush with olive oil and finely minced garlic, put a few needles of fresh rosemary in a hot pan, throw in the steak and fry it. Also good grilled with the same seasonings.
Here is a picture before I picked it.

Here's a dragonfly I captured some years ago. Chuck
And a spider in its web.
Like the moose, love the trout
And so is @Mike1950!!!
You are getting some monstrous depth of field - HDR?
Just a simple point and shoot, but it does have a great "macro" feature. Here are some wood anatomy pics I've taken with it (I've taken over 3,000 of these)

grrrr
Yep, that's what I like about them. Here's a good shot of a dragonfly that shows his leg hairs. You really can't see those with your eyeballs 'cause they fly away if you get close enough. I was at least a foot away with the camera (NOT set on "macro"). If I could have gotten up close with the macro setting, one leg would fill the whole frame

Very nice photo. The leg hairs form a sort of net that increases the damselfly's ability to capture mosquitos and gnats on the wing. They're deadly fly catchers. Those little point & shoots with lens like 23mm are great for depth of field.

Tim - shoot a photo of what it looks like sliced please. I've never seen one of those. I've seen small puff ball fungus in the jungle and pretty sure they weren't edible. If you pushed on them with a finger or toe of your boot black spores smoked out.
Wow, I remember seeing them as a kid in Missouri, never anywhere near that size though. Didn't know they were edible, we just stomped them when they were dry to see the puff...
I remember stomping a few, also. But they were on the small size. Chuck
The one yesterday was yellow-geeen inside so beyond eating stage. Went back to the patch and picked another one this afternoon.
Here it is in situ.
And sliced. Nice creamy white color. They are very delicate and the flesh tears easily, even with the sharpest knife.
Neighbor said his child put his hamburger flipper in the dishwasher, which ruined the wood handle. I made him a walnut handle and he is back in business.
Undoubtedly a better handle! Looks like it’s back in use. You are a great neighbor! Chuck
Hope you got paid in hamburger or sausage and not the eggplant thingie!
Thought that might come up Mike. This was a tiny payback for all the stuff he has done for me over the years. Right now getting all the maters I can eat. He lets me know what I need at the store when he goes and helped by set the Grizzly bandsaw on the mobile base. He is always available. Good neighbors all around me.
