I found several of these scattered around my lawn, and then I moved a plant pot and found this one next to the base of the pot. I'm guessing a bird dropped them. After bringing one in for a day it started splitting open, so I popped out a few seeds, and then tore the red flesh off of one, exposing a black kernel. The next day all the seed chambers had split open. I've been here for years and I don't think it's from anything growing in my yard.

This is a magnolia seed pod!
Can someone pin this species ID sheet at the top of the page already?
Whatever it is, it looks like it has a hangover
Magnolia, not grandiflora
Southern magnolia
