These puffballs definately do not resemble classic gem-studded puffballs. Gem-studded have spines all over that break at the very tips. Even if these are closer to spore distribution, there should be spines 1-5 mm tall. Look alikes is the pig skinned puffball, but it has purplish brownish interior and is poisonous.
"All things are known: the stars’ advice
Calls some content to travel with the winds,
Though what the stars ask as they round
Time upon time the towers of the skies
Is heard but little till the stars go out." Dylan Thomas
