Can a wasp nest grow in the ground?  ?

I found a wasp nest in the ground and I kicked it over. It has a tail making me think it was made on the ground. Like the wasp was making the nest probably so he/she could come from the bottom outward toward the top? Idk I've heard of ground dwelling wasps but not like this. Because it rained last night it was a soggy nest. So it squished but it stayed solid. Like it was rubbery and had bounce when I stepped on it. But stayed solid.  I have a picture. Does anyone know what kind of wasp this is? I was thinking maybe a fungus that looks like a wasp nest but I couldn't find anything in a Google search. Thanks. Just curious. You can see the tail in the photo that makes me think a wasp built this in the ground. My dog has a single spot she LOVES to go potty and always potties in the same direction isn't it north-south that they face? They go potty on the north-South axis I believe the they sense the earth's magnetic field. Anyway. I pick up.after her but she likes it by one Bush usually ans all day yesterday never saw this nest in the ground. Interesting.
