How did you not run away screaming? Is this fungus common knowledge? I've never seen it and I am happy to have read this post before stumbling on this another dimension opening strawberry-red nightmare

xD I read a lot of books about nature when I was a kid and therefore knew of this fungus for some time. I always wanted to see this one, too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrus_ruber

As it has no tentacles I can see the beauty in this one, too. But I am really confused about how unreal those fungi look.
