Ms. Lucy said, this red rose mold has a total of 6 long tentacles like octopus tentacles growing from a pea. On the body of these "tentacles" also have nodules.

Immediately, Ms. Lucy took a picture of this strange mold and immediately sent it to Devon Wildlife Park to verify the origin. Through the knowledge, this strange mushroom has the scientific name Clathrus Archeri.

Clathrus Archeri is also known for different names such as Devil's Finger Mushroom or Rotten Horned Octopus Mushroom . This mushroom has an octopus-like shape, having from 4 to 7 red-colored tassels like octopus tentacles. Their whole body emits a stench to attract flies. Even so, the demon finger fungus is non-toxic and can be eaten in the event of a survival struggle in the wild.

Devil Finger Mushroom is scattered in the area from Australia to New Zealand. The first case of Clathrus Archeri was discovered in England 100 years ago.
