  • nut identification

    hi guys, found these nuts on the floor in the forest near mine today - they look like walnuts to me but i couldnt see a outer shell anywhere - any ideas? they were in like 2 halfs that split easily when i messed with it. i can go and get more pics if need be:



    also the second pic looked interesting but is probably sommet boring lol



    any help would be appreciated, also i found a load of beech nut trees on the edge of the forest with hundreds of them within reach - ive read up on using them but does anyone have any experience of eating the nuts?

    I have eaten beech nuts before but be careful as they contain a toxin which means you shouldn't eat too many!
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      Sorry, the pictures are too small for me to see, and they don't expand clearly enough.

          I think the first pic is acorns that have some sort of gall/parasite and the second prehaps lime tree seeds... but the photos are a bit small (and I STILL can't do photos myself so I can't help you!)

            Attachments rather than pics. Too small for me to see too.

              This is a walnut picture

              Check the leaf against the one you took these from.

                  It is, yes. You'd need to use a bigger photo and post it to Flickr and give us the link perhaps (I expect you know that )
