I don't think it's a puffball seen lots of them and none have had a ring of "petals" could be just never seen it and all these had it with a very flat top

I believe yall are right. Never seen em after the thaw just in the fall after they first release the spores. Guess the top is broken down from the snow and wind to give it the flat look. Thanks for all the replies

I tried feeding it moosetrot not hungry lol

I know where I'll be looking this summer.

That's right. Probably one of the big, pasture-dwelling species of Bovista or Calvatia. My best guess is Calvatia lilacina - their stumps persist for many months and are often purplish.

More bitter than salty but maybe I should have washed it first.
