Forest Walks
Boppadoo asked:


I don’t have a picture of this thing, but I’ve not been able to identify it for the life of me. While walking in the forest, I came across a bright, nearly neon-green ball with a stem. It fit in the palm of my hand, and was covered with small red dots. It had cracked open, and when I peered inside, there was a “fluff” (like the kind that comes out of milkweed in the fall) inside. Wherever a filament touched the inside, there was a red dot on the outside.

It and a few others like it were underneath some sugar maple and beech trees …and I know that it didn’t come from them.

My friends and I have settled on calling it an alien life form. Does anyone have a clue what it is??
