Scientists aren’t sure what the red substance that oozes

out of bleeding tooth fungus is exactly, but they have found

that it contains a pigment with anticoagulant and antibacterial

properties. Notably, it is also thought to contain substances that could help against Alzheimer’s disease.

The Bleeding Tooth Fungus is not toxic, but tastes so bitter as to be inedible,

despite one of its other names (Strawberries and Cream, because of its resemblance to a fruit danish).

Sherry Dinny had a brief panic attack on a bright day in the park.

While taking a leisurely stroll with her 8-year-old son,

she saw that he was holding a strange plant and had crimson marks around his mouth.

She moved quickly and went to her son..

After she went directly to the doctors with fear he told her that the plant

was not dangerous at all. In fact it had anti bacetial properties and was very good for you

These unplanned meetings with nature can be both shocking and fascinating.
