A frog was found with a mushroom sprouting from its leg. It's the first documented case of such an anomaly and scientists are concerned.
"Normally, mushrooms don’t grow on animal skin because they don’t usually possess the required nutrients to sustain them. However, the parasitic fungus called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis – more commonly known as the chytrid fungus – is a real threat to animal life and has led to a decline in global amphibian populations."
