Rich,
That looks like a puff ball (type of mushroom/fungus). I have seen several big ones this year, most I have seen have been brown. Once they turn brown they release spores that almost looks like dust. When they are still white they have not dried enough to release their spores.

I went hiking in the woods today since it was a perfect fall day and my GPS is in the shop. I came across this huge "something" in the woods. I thought maybe someone could tell me what it was, should I have touched it and it's too late now, or what. It was growing in a small flat area out of the ground. And no, it's not Styrofoam!.
