This looks like another earthstar, geastrum triplex (collared earthstar
- gekraagde aardster), also not uncommon in dune areas.
I don't know about the attraction of flies but it is indeed the case for
a number of mushrooms.

Miracles exist. Never seen this fungus before. Some earthstars are on
the red list, no idea if this is one of those. Thanks to your photo I
spotted this specimen on my daily walk:

The fly is intriguing. My guess is the flies are attracted by the
fungus to distribute spores. No idea, I have to do some googling.

Amidst all the rotten leaves these fringed earthstars pop up, from
which their spores will be blown away in a short time .
