Have you seen my new shroom? Researchers have documented the first-known instance of a mushroom growing from a living frog. The Bonnet Mushroom (Mycena sp.) was found sprouting from the side of a Rao’s Intermediate Golden-backed Frog (Indosylvirana intermedia), a species native to the Western Ghats. This unusual occurrence raises questions about the relationship between the mushroom and the otherwise healthy frog, highlighting a rare interaction in nature. - The Bonnet mushroom is typically found on rotting wood and was previously an unknown parasite to the frog species. - The frog, part of a species native to the Western Ghats, was discovered among a group of 40 others near a rainwater-fed pond. - No further research was conducted as our froggy friend here was observed, photographed, and left to live its days with its new fruiting body accessory.
