Earth Ball Fungi

as Benny Hill said -"learning...learning... all the time !" thanks Clive. This one does look like a dried, split puff or earthball. Also, I notice that the split, curled parts are less regular in shape and shorter than those of the earthstar. I should check all your spottings...thanks again apologies - carazariah. I have deleted my ID

These are attractive little fungi. The one in your photo has water that's collected in the centre submerging the soft spore sac. There should be more around !
