What the hell are these

Seve OB

so two questions.

Some eggs I found in a little pot I had put a strawberry runner in. Loads of them. Any idea what they are?

and this stuff I found a while back in amongst a new strawberry bed. Like a mushroom or something? Was a fair bit of it and looked horrible 🤣

The eggs look like snails (or slugs) eggs but couldn't be sure. The fungus looks like a type of cup fungus. I have it in my garden too. It's great for recycling nutrients so best to leave it there - horrible and all as it might look :)

Eggs are also possibly vine weevil

I'd go with vine weevil too for first picture, the nemesis of every gardener.

A silent assassin.

Ruthless.

If it was Vine weevil would the eggs not be larva now….. they tend to emerge from june ….. I found some eggs like these on monday in a pot …but i believe they were slug/snail …

also Vine weevil eggs are around 1mm in diameter… the eggs pictured look a bit bigger

I think slug or snail eggs probably makes sense. Lots of slugs around lately. The eggs were about 3mm

Vine weevil have a brownish head and are more curved than round. Those are slug eggs. The fungus frequently grows in compost and is harmless.
