Depends on the little chunks, as suggested above. Could be mace, if they
are orangey-brown, waxy-textured and slightly leathery, like the bran
layer from a peanut in shreds. On the other hand, if they're
reddish-brown or light brown chunks of woody root, it might be sliced
galingale. Check for a eucalptus smell, either as is or when a piece is
hammered, ground, smashed, or otherwise cut open. If so, that'd prolly
be galingale.
I'm assuming, BTW, that your reddish-brown peppercorns labelled
"cardamom" are in fact the typical cardamom and not grains of paradise,
which look a little like deformed apple seeds. I imagine the Pepperer's
Guild wouldn't be labelling a somewhat expensive product as something cheaper.
