Paul H : A plant or fungus of some sort. Wort perhaps?
Lee G : That’s really close up! No idea.
Julia G : Timber, probably from engineered flooring, one of the lighter species of European oak at a guess.
Robert : There’s some weird lighting there. I’m guessing it’s a nylon roller or bumper of some kind.
Michal B : A stamen. Or a pistil. Or whatever those things are called in the middle of a flower.
Colin B : Nutcracker? Garlic press? Probably a small kitchen tool of some sort.
Carole A : A tater masher, just like in the examples from last time!
Guneet : Well, a control switch od some sort, obviously. From a video camera perhaps?

Katey B : ???
Marc van L : Hair brush.

I’ve just added Jess’s entry. It was posted before noon in EST, and the rules of the Photo Challenge didn’t explicitly state that we are using GMT, so we’ll allow it this time! I’ve now fixed that particular loophole

Some really interesting guesses on mine
My guesses:
Jay-nail clipper
Paul-seaweed of some sort or evidence of the loch ness monster
Katey-stuffed animal/white teddy bear
Kirsty-trinket box lid
Marc-hairbrush
Colin-kitchen tool/garlic press?
Guneet-camcorder power/play button
Carole-potato masher
Lisa-I’m thinking bath salts, which are fairly larger than sugar or table salt/I suppose it could be small aquarium rocks too
Julia-wood floor panel
Michael-originally I was thinking a fruit stem on like a pear, but after seeing some comments I now have to agree with flower stamen
Jonathan-it’s probably a mushroom but I’m gonna be different and guess layers of flower petals
Robert-I thought wheel right away, but to what?
Nick-harmonica
Lee-maybe a hive/nest of some kind or pebbly ground?
Looking forward to the answers!
