My friend found this in her garden this morning and at first thought it was a mushroom, but it turned out to be something far more unusual than she could have imagined…

She first posted a message on a community of mushroom experts and enthusiasts, but no one could figure out what it was. She was then advised to try the “Alien Bodies” subreddit.

Unfortunately, users of this subreddit also haven’t found a unified answer, although some have put forward their own theories. One of them issued a warning right from the start. User Ok-Bus-2410 wrote:
