Calvatia rugosa is a puffball mushroom with wrinkled, reddish skin and a white body that turns yellow when bruised or aged. This mushroom belongs to the Calvatia genus, which includes puffball mushrooms, and can be found in grassy areas of North America and Australia. While it is edible when young, it should be avoided once ripe, as it can develop an unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotting meat. source
