« Pagans blamed for cruel horse attacks | Main | Mistaken identity »
An American couple reported finding the site of a 'Pagan ritual', complete with bloody clothing and a human brain, to local police in Leytonstone, North London. When the police investigated, they found a superb specimen of a beefsteak fungus.
Trisha Moxey, Epping Forest information services manager, said:We were somewhat non-plussed that someone could be confused about something that was obviously a fungus. We sent a forest keeper there and he realised what it was straight away. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened. The beef-steak fungus can look quite repulsive but looks more like a liver than a brain. We were surprised that the fungus turned out to be just a common beef-steak and not one of the more exotic species.
