I found some unique looking fruit in my neighborhood in Bedstuy Brooklyn USA. Anyone know what these are?

    How are you holding these? I can smell this picture. They smell like blue cheese mixed with diarrhea.

    Look like ginko stinkos to me

    Wash your hands, especially if you peeled back the fleshy parts at all.

    They have a chemical in them similar to that found in poison ivy, which was a rude awakening for me one day.

    Ginko from the female trees.

    Smash em & get it all over your hands. 🤣

  6. The nuts can be pan roasted, peeled and eaten. Wear gloves when squeezing the nuts to separate from the fruit and do it outside cuz that stuff stinks. They are quite tasty but don’t eat more than 10 nuts a day as there is a very mild toxin that can build up if people go overboard

    They don’t smell until you smash them. Just don’t smash them!

    We use to call these Poopberries growing up in Southern Indiana because the rancid smell

  10. Looks like fruit of the gingko tree.
