We found a *thing* growing at the bottom of our field, it has me
completely
mystified as I've never seen anything like it before. Im presuming its
some
form of fungi, its white, round, about the size of a soccer ball and looks
like a big piece of marshmallow!.

You incredibly lucky people. It is a gianf puff ball. It is utterly
unmistakable. A most delicious fungus. Pick it before it ripens. Cut into
steaks and fry in butter. Serve with a garlick butter sauce.
