Julia Rosser, 67, a retired teacher who found it, described the Devil's Fingers fungus as looking 'more like a hand than any I have ever seen before. It looked like it was reaching out from beyond the grave.'
Wildlife Trusts explained that the Devil's Fingers fungus 'hatches from a slimy, gelatinous 'egg' and as it grows, the tentacle-like arms start to protrude.' This unique growth makes it particularly intriguing.
Wildlife Trusts noted the fungus is characterized by a 'smell like rotting flesh which attract insects to arms where the spores are found,' aiding in its reproduction.
