  • Question

    This plant was found on Nantucket in a lawn. The photo comes to me 3rd hand and I am told is not a prank. I personally think it looks like a badminton birdie run over by a mower. The man who took the photo says it is not soft like a fungus but feels like a vine. Sorry for the limited information, however, it is so conspicuous that I hope the photo alone will be enough to identify.

    Answer

    Erin, I would love to assist you, but Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. If you need help finding a mycology forum where this could be identified, feel free to email me at: ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org. I can try to help you further.
