You can see these things all over west Africa. From Senegal through Guinea and Mali. The example here comes from northern Sierra Leone. I am fairly sure they they are home to some kind of insect. I just have never seen anything coming out of them. No ants or wasps. Maybe it is the wrong season though. In a few places I have seen hundreds of these covering a field like giant mud mushrooms. Whatzit?
