I sat on this thing in Minnesota that was in some woodchips under a tree. It may or may not have already been broken into pieces before I sat down. It left a brown and green stain on my clothes and gave me a rash on my bum. On one side of the pieces there's like this yellow fungus looking stuff, and on the other it's green and almost fruit like. Any ideas?

    Looks like the outer covering of a walnut

    It’s the husk of a black walnut. I suspect a squirrel sat there and took the husk off to get to the shell and eventually the nut.

    Black walnut hull/fruit. Squirrels peel them off the nut before taking it to store for the winter

    black walnut, this is the outer “husk” that encases the nut part. They’re notoriously stainy.

    Whatever you do don’t touch the inside of a black walnut shell. It will stay in your hands and your clothes.

    Its a black walnut. You may be allergic to juglone which is the “juice” inside. It can also cause staining of your skin and other things as well. I harvest them and sometimes it causes my skin to itch.

    If you’re starving and don’t mind breaking the law you can use the green walnut hulls to catch every fish in a slow moving stream. You smash them up and put them in a burlap sack or a tee shirt. Then you drag it in a deep part of a creek where the inlet and outlet is reduced to a trickle. All the fish will come to the surface gasping because of the walnut hulls burning their gills. Then you grab them and put them in the sack or shirt you used. The hillbilly terminology for this is walnutting the creek.
