This mushroom starts as a white, egg-like structure. As it matures, it splits open to reveal bright red, tentacle-like arms covered in a dark, foul-smelling slime.
2. Devil’s Tooth (Hydnellum peckii):
This fungus exudes bright red droplets that look like blood, especially when it’s young. These droplets are actually a form of guttation, where the mushroom releases excess moisture.
3. Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha): These fungi grow in clusters and resemble decaying fingers sticking out of the ground. They are often found on decaying wood and can look quite eerie, especially in dim light.
