A human-shaped mushroom was recently discovered on the side of a road in Norfolk, England. Jonathan Revett, a fungi hobbyist, came across the lil’ buggers and sent the mushrooms in for analysis after being awestruck by their humanoid shape.

Apparently they’re a new type of Earthstar mushroom that have been given the name Geastrum britannicum. AND naturally, since they look like tiny, beret-wearing humans, the mushroom is highly poisonous and inedible. Makes sense.
