Thread OP

I found a small patch of small brown objects clustered together in my garden on Saturday. At first glance it looked like mushrooms but today half were popped open and inside were small black objects about the size of a pebble.

I have never had these here and am unsure of what they are and if they are bad. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

They are usually found in wood chips doing what fungus do: decomposing things. They don't attack live plants.
