I was walking down the hedgerow path at the old Jesuit novitiate in Wernersville a couple of weeks ago, when I spotted in the distance what looked like an ostrich egg. As I got closer, I realized there were a dozen or so scattered along the path.
As I got closer, I could see they weren't ostrich eggs, but what were they? Alien pods? Fungi, I believe...
The watch on this partially munched specimen gives you some sense of scale...
Humungous fungus!
