These series of photos are not paranormal in nature. However,
this type of mushroom ( phallus-shape mushroom) is not a common sight
these days.
Further online research had enabled me to define the exact type
of the said mushroom. Interestingly, these type of mushroom has
its shape similar to an erect penis that triggered off my curiosity. In
fact, the Wikipedia encyclopedia defined that the
word phallus can refer to
an erect penis, or to an object shaped like a penis.
