Sorry for the bad photo, my dog was not cooperating when I was in the brush getting my photo.
I have never come across a puffball that is as green as this one. Not sure if others have seen this?

It might not be a puffball, Amanitas often look similar before their universal veil breaks and I know of at least one Amanita with a yellow veil (Amanita augusta).

This would be one hell of an amanita! This guy is 12 inch across. It turned more yellow over time, I think this is just a vibrant process of spores being formed in the tissue. It was very interesting to watch.

Ah the scale wasn't obvious to me, that's really interesting.
