Those are buckeyes. I don't know much about them except that you are supposed to eat them and Van Gogh has a nice painting of one. In England they will usually call them chestnuts while the eating kind they call sweet chestnuts. For some photos of what here in the U.S. are "real" chestnuts, you can visit my site at Correia Chestnut Farm - American Grown Fresh Chestnuts From Our Family Farm to You; large hand-harvested Colossal chestnuts, recipes, instructions for roasting chestnuts, chestnut roasters, chestnut knives.
