This Man Thought He Found A Rare Bird Specie In A Forest Until It Hatches!

Earth is home to millions of different species of plants, insects, and animals. Scientists have estimated that 8.7 million living organisms live in both land and water which tells you a lot about the diversity of life found in our planet.

Roughly 85% of these species are still undiscovered and are waiting to be seen and studied. One of the most recent discoveries made is this peculiar looking egg which was discovered by a man while he was wandering inside a forest.

Reports have indicated that the egg originates from Tasmania, Australia and New Zealand. At first glance it appears to look like a bird's egg but upon further inspection, it's actually a mushroom called the "Devil's Finger".

It's a weird and unique species of mushroom mainly due to the fact that it grows inside an egg sac and hatches just like a bird egg. The process is fascinating because about 4 to 8 tentacles of the mushroom erupt from the egg sac to give it a sinister look, hence the name Devil's Finger.

The tentacles are red in color and are vibrant in appearance although the smell may deter you since it has a foul odor.

Scientists say that the tentacles are edible while still inside the sac but one it sprouts, it turns inedible.
