Hmm, I’m not so sure, I think that for Scleroderma the inside is a lot denser.

To me, these larger granules look more like a dyeball, Pisolithus arhizus: www.jungledragon.com/specie/8966/dyeball.html

Any idea why it’s called a dye ball?

  This may also be of interest to you, even though they do not use this specific mushroom: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4TjnxFO3yw

  The Dyeball, as its common name implies, can also be used for dyeing wool. P. arrhizus is counted among the best mushrooms for dyeing and imparts wool with a deep brown to reddish-brown to blackish color. The pigments come from the tar-like gel between the peridioles, so younger Dyeballs work better.
