Frog with Mushroom Growing on It Baffles Scientists | WION Podcast

Indian scientists found a mushroom growing on the body of a live frog in the Western Ghats. This is the first time a mushroom has been observed sprouting from a living animal's tissue. Identified as a Bonnet Mushroom, it usually thrives on decaying wood, making its growth on the frog even more puzzling. The amphibian, a Rao’s Intermediate Golden-backed Frog, seemed unaffected by this rare phenomenon. This raises intriguing questions about amphibian-fungi interactions in the humid, monsoon-fed environment.
