Ive left fungi alone for a while but I'd go with a partially emerged/old (  ) Morchella esculenta? Found on calcareous scrubland in April.
(sorry about the bad photos )

Certainly looks Morel-like to me, albeit dehydrated. You can vaguely make out honeycomb hollowed pits on the initial image. It does look a little like a cluster of something fungal. |

I think this pic looks more like Turban Fungus but I am probably wrong. |

I admit my first thought was Gyromitra, but on a second and third (etc.) look I'm not convinced - could Leifus send me a bit? if I'm wrong I'll happily hold my hands up
