Dennis,
You can find close to 20 images of puffballs at
http://www-lib.iupui.edu/special/mss019.html#series.
Puffballs are some of the easiest to identify. Simply slice straight through
the center of the thing. If there is absolutely NO sign of a stem or gills,
you can be pretty sure that's what you've got.
Size can commonly be anywhere from 1/2" up to basketball size, though there
are some reports of them reaching the size of a sheep.
