Whatisthisplease Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I found this in my garden when I was digging out an invasive weed. I was keeping some interesting stones in a separate pile to add to stone edging I have around a garden bed. I saw it, and even covered in soil, it looked interesting. I removed some dirt and saw it was really lovely. At first I thought it would be porcelain. After I removed more dirt I realized that it isn’t. Both sides are truly beautiful. It looks like a mushroom to me - the detail is amazing! I don’t know anything about things like this but came across your website as I was trying to find out more about my find. Any help and advice you can give would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygotus Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Not a mushroom. Coral, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It looks like a modern coral, something similar to Manicina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I agree with @Al Dente Here are some pieces of this coral that I have: The lower piece is very similar to yours although slightly less worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
