It looks like lotus, but that doesn’t make sense for Lake Michigan?

Dehydrated Lotus seed pods.
Lotus was my first guess. I get uneasy just looking at them.

It’s definitely from Nelumbo sp., but I don’t know how to tell apart N. lutea and N. nucifera seed pods. N. lutea is native to “North America” and its range includes the shoreline of Lake Michigan, so it’s not inconceivable that some seed pods (if they’re from N. lutea) got washed into the lake?
Lotus pods get sold as dried flower decor. Someone threw a bunch of them in the lake.
You’ve got pods…Don’t fall asleep!
Grow the seeds in a tub!!
my trypophobiaa
I just founds loads of these on lake Michigan too! Mine were all terrible and beat up though. I looked for lotus seeds but mine were empty
my trypophobia kicked in…… couldn’t scroll fast enough… PUT THAT BEHIND A NSFW Wall!!!! Yeesh.
Dried ones are in floral bouquets. Maybe they were from ones thrown in the lake
