Fungi

This is one of the incredible types of fungus on my block. I've never seen anything like it before.

GAIL, when this fungi is dry, is it hollow? and if broken open has a lot of fine black 'dust' that are the spores?

If it is, think the name is devil's dust ball or some such? That is what i heard for a similar one we have here.
