The balls that are on the tree, “ripen” and explode into a million tiny little seeds that are like upside down umbrellas with hooks on the “handle” end. Photos 2 & 3 are the fallen ball that my dog grabbed 😢

What the heck is this monster????????
Very dusty if broken and dust naturally on surrounding rocks
Flat blob one is growing under a lomandra bush and ginkgo Biloba tree.
The ‘mushroom/lichen/fungi’ looking ones are solely under another Lomandra several bushes away. Discovered as the top of the lomandra bush was turning orange from the’dust’ under the plant!!
The small orange brown lumps under the plant and alien are rocks…completely caked by the powder.
HELP!!

Found several of these scat droppings along the foundation of the house. The leaf is a lemon tree leaf for size. If you touch a piece with a stick, it breaks into a powder like form.
Any ideas what’s in my yard? Thank you.

This blk and yell bee was giant! I think it was ill and/or dying as it was walking and making no attempt to move its wings, but I’ve never seen such a big bee around here.

Three types of mushrooms (?) growing in my newly redone yard. Base is original clay and dirt brought in and “arbor mulch” (aka decorative bark type covering). These guys are popping up in groups in their own areas of the yard. The dark ones look like morels. No idea on the other two. Any ideas????
