Monster Alert
Okay, that settles it, nature definitely takes the cake when it comes to strange-looking things just lying around. The OP was in a forest in Sweden when they spotted this monstrosity that was around 20 cm in size and about 1 m from the ground. Apparently, it was hard to touch but dripped liquid when knocked.
First of all, who looks at something like that and thinks it would be a good idea to touch it? Not us! The internet identified it as a polypore fungus that’s exuding excess moisture. They have pores or tubes on their underside and this process is called guttation. Alright, then.
