Sandy soil
First I thought it's a Desert Shaggymae. After I pulled it out from the ground, I noticed it didn't have any gills, it looks like a puffball with stem.
I spotted this funky looking mushroom near Rio Grande River, under sagebrushes.

Very small with thin stem but not as fragile as they looked as they stayed intact when picked. Growing on dead limb of dying tree with multiple trunks and low spread out growth pattern. Shaggy bark and very thin long leaves or seed pods among stand of mesquite in river bed. Possibly a mesquite or acacia

On one of the stairs on a trail at Finca Heimatlos.

The same fruiting body as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/204487111

IDd by Richard Tehan. Further collection, documentation and ID pending. All growing from soil and immediately adjacent to wood. Extremely difficult to excavate the host, the first three broke against the wood, seemly indicating that the host was in or under the wood.
