Photo taken near Cork Ireland, earlier this month.
I thought it was just a plastic bag at first.

Any (relevant) ideas?

Hard to tell from the photo but from the size my guess would be some species
of puffball. *Whatever it is, it has been attacked by slugs or snails.

*From the size I'd guess it's a well eaten giant puffball. If it were a
giant puffball I wouldn't eat it in that state. And I'm not confident
about this identification, so do NOT eat it *- it could easily be a well
eaten something else which might not be edible.

somewhere in Ireland and I'm back in Belgium. Just wondered.
