"Human-shaped" mushrooms

A newly discovered species of fungus with an uncanny resemblance to little humans has been found on the roadside in Norfolk.

With fleshy heads, arms and legs, the mushrooms, discovered by Jonathan Revett in Cockley Cley, Norfolk have just been classified as a new species... The mushrooms have been named as geastrum britannicum to reflect them being unique to the UK.
