Frog Hosts Surprise Mushroom Growth

A group of nature enthusiasts in India discovered a live frog with a mushroom sprouting from its side, a phenomenon never before reported. The observation, published in the journal Reptiles & Amphibians, surprised scientists due to the typically fatal pairing of frogs and fungus. While the exact identity of the mushroom remains obscured without samples, the discovery has sparked interest in the role of fungi in biodiversity and raised questions about the complex process that led to the mushroom growing on the frog.
