Strange-looking thing, wouldn't you say
It looks rather like an octopus.
This is Anthurus d’Archer. It is actually a fungus of Australian or New Zealand origin. Legend has it that it arrived in France near Bordeaux during an import of New Zealand wool.
Today it is considered invasive, although it is not all that common to come across one.
And it smells foul!
