I have found a couple of these on my back porch here in Tampa Florida & have no idea what it is… Has anybody seen one of these before?

Alien pods when you go to sleep they take over your body:bigsmyl2:
Would you guess that it is a fungus or a type of seed pod?
What does it smell like?
Some palms have funky seed pods.
That is weird.
762
Armadillo egg.
Just a wild guess.
If I had to guess its from a Horse tail plant
Alien anal probe :mrgreen:
Yeah go ahead and smell it lol
I think it belongs in the PISTIL forum.....
Maybe Klingon in origin !!!
Pods !!!
Florida is a magnet for invasive species.
This one is probably from several light years away.
Don’t think I’d eat it on a survival trip. Hoping someone IDs it as I’ve never seen one before. Thanks for the interesting replies so far...
Looks like something a vegan would eat. Bad hunter.
No idea! But if they were on your porch, they must have come from nearby, I'd think. Got a County Extension Agent/Office nearby? Ask them.
Just a guess. Seed pod from a palm of some sort?
looks like an over cooked corndog to me
Great idea. That or a nearby University/College might have someone who could ID them.
Mighty curious looking isn't it... I have not ever seen something like that , that I can recall. At first it reminded me of some kind of corn.
G'Luck!
P.S> - How do ya think they got on your porch? Wind? Maybe there is some of the original plant nearby you could look at & take pics as well... ???
762 is on to something, looks like it may be a palm flower bud.

After going & looking at some of the images from NYFirefighters357 link, I think it may be a Sago Palm "pod". Here are some pics:

If it not the Above: perhaps it could be a Coconut bud:

Or maybe part of a Yucca plant:

Yep.. Best to ask someone who is an expert of the like to find out.

Is it one of those old tyme candies your grandparents always had for years and years because no one ate them because they were licorice?
