Sorry for potato quality, but it’s soft and fuzzy on the outside, and the inside is somewhat mushy and is a light yellow/green color, and it’s about 2 inches long.

Found under some trees at our city park in South Mississippi.

Edit: I’m now seeing a number of the fuzzy peels laying around one of the picnic tables, so is it some sort of food?

Edit 2: It doesn’t seem to have any notable smell that I can tell.

Edit 3: Solved - Magnolia Flower Bud

We’re actually sitting under a Magnolia tree right now and I just looked up and saw one still on the tree, so this is now 100% confirmed.

    My first thought is maybe a magnolia flower bud? Not sure it’s the right fuzzy though. You might see if you can identify the park trees.
