For the last two yrs I have found a round variegated fruit on the ground at the ranch.
It is dark red and tan in color (mostly red) and varies in size, 5/8 to 3/4 of and inch.
Its always been found on the ground in a heavily wooded area and I have never been able to locate the source.
I've mostly oaks and ash trees, soil ph is high and can be rocky.
I cut one open just now and it is yellow inside but turned brown in short time. Maybe 15-30 minutes.
Yes, I had to tasted it... bitter.
Any clues?

I'll try to post a pic of one.
