 Peculiar "seed pod"
While walking in Maryland along the edge of normally swampy arrea I came upon several batches of these pods (see picture). Although some were eaten/gnawed upon most were untouched. They weren't particularly soft but were about the size of a baseball. YThere are a variety of hardwoods in the area dn some other unknowns but I have never seen anything like these ( I am from New England originally and never up there either). Can anyone identify?
Thanks |
