Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I thought it was a moldy pear (it's under a pear and apple tree, next to some sage and valerian), but it's hardish and attached to the ground.

Looks like a deformed polypore of some kind... ?

Maybe an aborted entoloma?

PictureThis app said Entolomataceae, but it's not very reliable in my experience

Can you cut it open to see what it looks like inside? should have a tan/white marbled interior, if aborted

I will, but I want to monitor it for the next few days first. it hasn't really changed, except filling out the damaged brown spots since yesterday.
