Pebbles inside coconut walls

They're hard and I had a difficult time scraping it off with my spoon. Google says fungal infestation, bee larvae, overly mature coconut, or spoiled -- so I'm hoping to get a clear answer here lol😢

Water tastes like regular coconut water, not much fruit inside. I ordered this at a restaurant and wanted to scrape some meat but found this instead.

*24h update (yes the post is newer because i posted it after):
Symptoms: Diarrhea and exhaustion, no nausea
Went to hospital and they said based on my history and symptoms I am OK. A stool test wasn't necessary but I did one anyway. BP and pulse normal

Doctor said it's likely very mild food poisoning and that it's the best possibility so I am very, very relieved lmao.. he even referenced the case where a death occurred due to a bad coconut, lot of comments here got me very worried about that and I thank you all for your wisdom and wishes

He said it's mostly likely some sort of fungal or bacterial related formation
All I need is rest and hydration and I'll be fine.

I hope nobody will ever see meet this sort of morbidly terrifying coconut formation like I did. The name of the restaurant was in Thai in Chiang Mai and I had no idea what it said, being in Thailand for over a decade I let my guard down on fruits after the thousand coconuts I probably had here by now. Anyway, appreciate the medical comments !
