It's very unlike me not to hava an opinion, and this is going to sound totally ridiculous, but I can't tell the difference between an egg and a fungus. My daughters came back with what looked like three little puffballs, but where the skin had split it was just like an egg, all jelly like inside with something hard in the middle, and I just am so confused! The thing which makes me think it's a fungus is that the skin or shell in one of them had two small root like tentacles, and is very mushroom like in texture. I can't say I've heard of any mushroom which contains something that looks like a soft boiled egg dipped in aspic, though. Any ideas? ::) (They are really creepy and the girls think they're alien eggs. They may be right.)

This sounds interesting. Any chance of some photos?

They couldn't be snake eggs, could they?
If this link doesn't work, try googling 'snake eggs'

Sounds like old grass snake eggs that failed to hatch, usualy found in muck heaps or piles of old rotting vegetation like compost so the heat hatches them. , soft leathery shell and eggy in the centre ,ping pong ball size,?
