The fungus??? Has been there year after year.....im curious if anyone knows what it is officially? The nut has a strong smell, close to a green walnut odour
The nut is from a hickory
the other we have a couple of very old Oak with
the same thing. The owner of woodland dynamics
told me what it was but that was 10/12 years ago
So it is long gone from my memory
Could this be it?

Yes I'm fairly sure its a hickory as well, pignut or shellbark I'm not sure of? We have shagbark and bitternut as well here on the farm. The leaves are definitely much smaller than a bitternut. I did lookup and see it has a slim chance of being shellbark (red hickory) given our geographic location. But in general hickories are not abundant in this area. I guess we have a good spot for them.
I think your bang on with this.
