   slightly rubble-y soil at edge of grassy bank. Firm skin, looks like a small   
   potato or a large    
   pebble. Skin about 3mm thick, distinct stem that makes it look like a   
   Victorian door knob. Skin and flesh doesn't discolour under pressure, or after   
   leaving cut open for four days. Mild mushroomy small and taste. Mild, not   
   strong or sharp.

   Appears to be either a Scleroderma or an immature Geastrun.
