First pic is Clathrus Ruber and second pic is Clathrus Archeri. Fairly rare in the Southern Counties of England, starting to become more widespread and common.

yes they are very strange, by the way when you say rare in southern counties, does that mean they are not found oop north at all?

I've had a look through the national fungal database and Clathrus Ruber has had 3 records from Scotland. The furthest north that Clathrus Archeri has been recorded is Bedfordshire.
One thing to bear in mind is that these species may occur all over the place and have not been recorded in every instance due to people not knowing what they are.
Keep your eyes peeled in the autumn.

Have always wanted to see one of those things. Saw earth stars in Bristol (now what was the name of that park - there is a path along a little river that connects 2 parks - Frenchay area ish? was it there, or was it the woods around Long Ashton?)
How about this little fungus -
