Discovered the 'eggs' of aliens in rural England

Nature conservationist Dan Hoare discovered a strange "egg" in New Forest, southern England and posted his interesting photos on Twitter.

The exotic egg-like plant has a transparent jelly-like structure before "hatching" into four red tentacles, surrounded by brown oily fluid.

The photo posted on Twitter has received many comments and many agree that this is an "egg" image of the alien.

The mysterious "egg" makes many people on social networks feel confused and then they turn to believing that this is the image of "an alien life form" . An account commented: "I thought that this mushroom came from another world."

Another person surprised and said: "Eggs of aliens?".

In fact, the photos are absolutely not the "eggs" of aliens but a rare plant species . Their names are "devil fingers" or "stinkhorn octopus" - a white brown fungus with a strange odor that smells must be sick - a famous forest mushroom in England.

"Stinkhorn octopus" produces a brown sticky slime, which attracts flies and then flies help spread the spores of fungi to surrounding areas.

"Egg" is actually a rare forest mushroom.

According to the Royal Botanic Gardens, this particular mushroom originated in Australia and New Zealand but has gradually appeared in some other countries in the last few years.

In England, the mushroom was first found in Penzance, Cornwall and then some parts of the Sussex area, gradually spreading to Bedfordshire, Hampshire, Kent, Suffolk, Surrey and Channel Islands. This strange mushroom is increasingly expanding its scope of living.
