People found a mucus-covered egg and began to watch a “stranger” hatch from it.

The unpredictability of the creations of nature sometimes reaches unthinkable heights. She is able to create not only amazing plants, but also those that, frankly, terrify us. The authors of the photos below came across one of these. They found a strange slime-covered egg in the forest that looked more like an alien and looked like the lost props of a science fiction movie.

Most people who see this will prefer to go as far as possible, but our heroes are not one of them. They became so curious about who lives inside the egg that they began to patiently wait for hatching. The creature that appeared, although it initially resembled the embryo from the movie Alien, actually turned out to be just a mushroom, which, by the way, is completely edible. True, its smell is even nastier than the look, and is comparable to rotting meat. So you hardly want to try it.

The first photos appeared on the network with an incredible mushroom caused heated debate among users who expressed doubts about their authenticity, but scientists have long known this wonder of nature. His name is Anturus Archer, or, as he was popularly known, the Fingers of the Devil. The demonic mushroom is really born from jelly-like eggs, inside of which fleshy "tentacles" are gathered together. But, leaving his shell, he begins to actively grow up.
