Default Hymenocaulis

I dug up three bulbs for this is the woods about 14 months ago and
planted them in a 5 gallon pot. I had one flowering stalk last year
and this year each bulb sent out at least one flowering stalk with
about a half-dozen flowers each.

I cross-pollinated the flowers between plants and ended up with 4
fruits. They are green and shaped like large acorns (very small
avocados) and I do not know what to do with them. The fruit just fall
off when mature. Maybe there are seeds inside but the things look like
they would prefer to be a baby bulb.

I think these are related to Spider Lilies but I can find little on
propagating them. Maybe I just cut one in half to see what is inside
and plant the other three as is.

Any advice?
