I don't know , can't see them from here , but I do know they are not puff balls as they only come out in Sept to Oct. provided there is enough rain around.

Could be a leftover puffball from last year.
I'm in Ottawa as well.. could you give me some hints on areas to go mushroom hunting?
The greenbelt has many city area woods. Schools have green space around them. Railway tracks produce asparagus. Be careful of private land trespassing. But every city park/greenspace has woods, look for elm trees or pine plots. Hope that is start for ya. PM for cell, I am not greedy but do not wish to be too public...
Ones from last year would be brown and broken open, this is how the spores move around. This one looks like one you would pick and eat in the fall, nice and white with just a few little puck marks out of it, if it was the fall I would pick it and cut it up for dinner.
Hey line I am originally from Missouri and really enjoyed mushroom hunting. I am in the Brockville area in my last year up here. I have walked all over the place without my previous success like back home. Any advice or am I too late?
