Rare hissing mushroom known as the "Devil's Cigar" spotted at Texas park

The rare hissing mushroom known as the "Devil's Cigar" was captured on a trail in Inks Lake State Park on Sunday, Texas Parks and Wildlife said in a Facebook post. 

The unique, star-shaped fungus chorioactis geaster, which also goes by the nickname "Texas star," was officially designated the official state mushroom of Texas back on July 22, 2021. 

Texas is the only state other than Minnesota and Oregon to have officially declared a state mushroom, according to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.
