I found these along the Friendship Trail in Fort erie and at Marcy's Woods as well.

Any guesses?

did you get a buzz when you smoked it?

Do we get a scratch & win ticket for I.D.ing the plant ?

Well I know its not what I named it.

They look like an American Bladdernut. I wonder if it has any uses. The seed pod is basically air but with three tiny hard seeds inside and they didn't seem to have any flavour.

Pretty sure you got it right Chili, here is a link to it in Ontario.

I see the pictures are by a fellow by the last name Muma, when I was young there was a local CO by the name Roy Muma, wonder if this is a son or grandson that followed in the outdoors field?
Quite a few species found along the north shore of Erie that are more common further south.

There was a Muma that was really into horticulture in the Fort Erie Conservation Club also but he is passed.
