Does "gumball" have a meaning I'm not familiar with? These don't look like bubble gum with a brightly coloured candy shell...

Hah, i thought that to. I've learned americans call all sorts of nature things really silly sounding names;

"Roly-poly" is a dessert in britain but describes a woodlouse in america. They don't even roll??
"Gumball" must mean the chestnut things in the image. I wouldn't describe any part of them as gummy.
