Hello,
im new here and on a mission to help my mum with a garden mystery! She's found 3 of these now and is baffled as to what it is. it looks very much like a starfish, but living in maresfield, near uckfield, East Sussex, and not that close to the sea it doesn't seem right! Any ideas? She found an Australian fungus online which she thinks it is but I dont see how it could be!
Any help would be awesome 
thank you

I also forgot to mention she found "a weird puffball thing" near it which is what led her to believe it's a fungus.
My guess is it is Clathrus Archeri or Devil's Fingers. Introduced to Europe from Australia/NZ. It should be very smelly.
