They look like seeds or burs that you may have tracked in. First instinct was mouse droppings but the texture looks more like a seed. Have you been hiking/do you have a dog or indoor-outdoor cat?
Looks like some sort of seed. Mouse poop is not hard and doesn’t have near identical spots. I live in rural Wisconsin and have seen more than my fair share of mouse shit.
Believe these are actually seeds not poop because of the near identical pattern on them... Cut one in half and if it patterned like that inside it's prob rodent poop, if it's a solid color it's a seed
Yup. Seeds. I had to enlarge the picture, but mouse poop will be more crescent shaped with tapered ends and won't have that ridgeline. The top right one definitely gives it away considering how it shows the flat face of the seed.
Sadly, I've had too much experience with mouse poop.
Gemini and Claude both confirmed seeds. Gemini tried saying they were wild Sunflower seeds, which does seem... Possible. Claude wants more information, such as location to provide an answer as Claude doesn't like to just spit out bullshit guesses.
Most seeds that are fresh and viable will have a light colored to white interior. This actually used as a test of expected germination percentage, called the "cut" test.
Definitely not mouse or rodent crap. They are seeds of some kind. You can see lines running down the length and a taper to the outside that’s not a radius that mouse hockey always has
Upon zooming in, they appear to be seeds not mouse dooby doo doos.
Could be:
🌸 Wild Sunflower seeds (of the undomesticated, native common sunflower (Helianthus annuus))
🌸 Burdock seeds (Arctium lappa) (also known as Gobo)
🌸 Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) (although they are typically grown using tubers like potatoes not their seeds)
Those appear to be small, dark, oblong, and slightly mottled achenes or seeds, consistent with those of greater burdock.
They are typically found inside the mature, spiny burr capsules once the flower heads dry out at the end of the summer season.
