I think I figured it out, it is a Annual Glasswort (http://www.plantatlas.usf.edu/main.asp?plantID=3805) Doesn't really look like it....

It's cattail roots.

I see 'em often. Beavers dig 'em up and use 'em to help dam. You'll see 'em in rivers and other tributaries after a flood.

I've never seen any s**t like that before.
What the he** is that s**t?
That has GOT to be the worse looking s**t I have ever seen.

It looks like the skin of same poor bast@rd animal or person that was rolled up and lightly fried.

Where the eye looking things came from- I'll never know- but, I do know this..

Man, or creature; real-life or TV. That is the ugliest emmer-effing thing I have effer effing seen.

I do not believe God made that....

Kobiashi, my tight little butt, you are proof the answer would be no.

Open up, I feel a lilly pad root of a turd coming your way.

I shall stop, now.
