Does anyone know what this is in my Long Island garden? Thanks
CLOSED: Egg sac?
What is the approximate size of this object? Did id suddenly appear, or did it gradually increase in size over time?
It is about the size of a tennis ball, and I'm pretty sure it just appeared. Does that help any?
Well, that pretty much eliminates an egg sac of any kind. I'll have to give this some more thought.
It looks like the objects this picture; the caption says they are a slime mold -

Thank you, a_lemonhead, that must be what it is! I pulled off the stem, and the object just basically disintegrated.
