You are right guys. It's very similar. Thanks!
I think it's more likely an Earthball: a Scleroderma species like Scleroderma citrinum
Many thanks Malcolm. I thinks it's a Lycoperdon but i don't know what.
These are called 'puffballs' by many people, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffball for more info.
