Rolled back my carpet of winter peas and found some kind of fungus balls. There are wood chips on top of the soil too. Anyone know what they are?

My guess would be they are some kind of stinkhorn. I've got Clathrus columnatus coming up all over in my fairly recently wood-chipped beds. At first I was excited, thinking they might be puffballs, but then they hit adolescence!

They’re stinkhorn mushrooms. Certainly a weird one.
