Regrettably, JPL's own press release doesn't seem to include that info.

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-curiosity-rover-sees-martian-spiderwebs-up-close/

There are many links to this news online, but they all seem to rehash the JPL press release.

They do identify the ridges as being 2-3 meters tall, in some articles. I guess the nodules are smaller than that. Apparently, nodules have been found previously on Mars so they're "old news", thus less deserving of details.


PS: "Truffle" was not the thing that first leapt to mind.
