Friday Foto - What is this?

 

 

 

 

Whilst gardening recently I came across a couple of these, most peculiar!  Any ideas what it is please? A fungus of some description maybe but what is it called, does anyone know. I have been unable to find out any information from books or the internet.

    That's the WEIRDEST thing EVER!!! At first, I thought it was the insides of a watermelon cut up in a strange way!! I have absolutely NO idea whatsoever.. Maybe someone will know.. but definitely drop me a line if you find out...

    Oh my word, that looks creepy! I wonder what it could be?? That rain has really done some funny things to your garden I think!

    Best wishes for a dry and happy weekend,
    Natasha.

    I agree with another commenter- I almost thought it was a watermelon. So weird!

    Thanks for stopping by my SITS day on Monday!

    Thanks everyone and welcome Shell! Congratulations to Anne and Leesa who did all the work for me while I was out this morning! Sorry Deborah they beat you to it, but I think you have already found that out. Oh yes your sauerkraut.
    I am now going to post the update before going out to celebrate at the Festa. Fireworks this evening if it stops raining!
