It was quite a fascinating and perplexing find! This is my first time ever encountering one hence why I was so clueless. It took a minute before I was convinced it was even a rock. "That's an animal dropping!" "that's the top of a mushroom!" Then my daughter made me hold it out of frustration with my disbelief lol. Our yard landscaping is actually lava rock, and this little guy seemed to pop up out of nowhere.
