Very beautiful!

nice...the furry version of the Judas' Ear

How exquisite!

Glad to help :)

And thanks for the ID

sorry wendy; the two are side by side and right now I can't unassign the seed mission

One more. They aren't seed pods :)

I think it's an Auricularia polytricha. It is edible and so delicious!
