    What are these white polyp things?

    What type of leather is this? I was told a kenya tree, but the pics I've seen online don't look anything like this.

    They both looked bleached. The left one is a birds nest. Need a better pic for the polyps.

    They both look very bleached. The left is a bird's nest. The right one is unclear. Need a better, closer-up picture.
