Don't worry, I have no interest eating them, was just curious
Was growing on the base of a dead tree, the surrounding trees are horse chestnuts and white poplar I think

Ah, missed @TvH 's reply. Deciduous trees means L. Echinatum makes a bit more sense, and they do lose their spines a bit as they age.

On phone so can't say with enough certainty but probably Lycoperdon Umbrinum, in which case it looks a bit late for eating anyway.
A particular Scleroderma looks somewhat similar so don't take that as a positive ID. What was it growing on / near?
