Not sure of this iNat ID, since no gilled mushrooms nearby. Doesn't look like puffballs. According to Baroni, form that parisitizes Armillaria looks like this - but didn't see Armillaria nearby either.

Note markings on rear pores. I think G. applanatum, but grey top doesn't match my references (brown). Maybe G. megaloma?
