I dug this up yesterday, intact, i have found others but just in the shell form, this one is about the size of a golf ball, the outside looks like a polystyrene ball, inside there is some white hard stuff surrounded by jelly, alien perhaps from another planet or something simple.

Haha - Lyn - just did this meself!! Only I think I got in first with a bit of self-ridicule - will have to check back.
Oh hel!! What a plonker...
The water around it is just where i washed the soil off, I have dug up some empty shells, very soft, you know when a chicken lays a soft shell egg? its not brown, thats just soil, its pure white. its still sitting where i left it, jelly still there.
Grass snake egg?
youll have to let it hatch ,sounds interesting.
Its a bit early for Grass Snakes to be hatching,August is more the time.My guess is that its an old nest from last year and this might be some kind of 'post egg laying' afterbirth?

Looked on internet, it is an embryo of the Stinkhorn fungus.
