Mystery Object found in Garden - What is it ?

[pubrunner]

from mushroom experts website.....
Some slime molds can appear like puffballs, as well, but when sliced open they are filled with gooey, gelatinous material. Stinkhorn "eggs" are also gelatinous inside, and display the stinkhorn-to-be when sliced open.

Yep, I think that's what it is !

. . . . . . . unless, of course, you are Francesca - in which case it's a truffle .

Then cook it, eat it: if you are still posting tomorrow, it's a truffle
BTW, I too found mushrooms in my back garden today, but I'm NOT going to eat them

A very sensible approach! However, it happens to be time for St George's Mushroom, which is easy to identify and very good to eat, so if you have an eye for ID, check it out. There isn't a deadly lookalike abroad at the same time, so a bit of thoroughness in ID is all that is required. I found a load the day before yesterday. There are morels about at the moment too.

And I concur with the stinkhorn ID. If I thought there were white truffles under rose bushes in The Berwyns, Pubbers would have to excuse my arriving in his garden tomorrow with a trained pig...

Let me see, I've found a mystery growth in my garden. Shall I enquire on a cycling forum, or try Kew Gardens?
