FRANKENSTEINED! Lavender shroom/ frogspawn

[foodnotbombs]

Can someone explain this to me. I have a rock with 7 or 8 large lavender mushrooms. A couple weeks ago my frogspawn branch falls on top of one of the mushrooms. The mushroom had the typical stinging reactions and I did not notice for a couple days. I moved the frogspawn back and let the mushroom heal. A month later,the mushroom is growing frogspawn tentacles. I thought maybe the frogspawn just spawned next to it but it is one solid mushroom. FROGSPAWN MUSHROOM? (warning high res iphone 4 pics)

Pictures are huge so hard to see what is what, but either way that is pretty cool!

Your rhodactis mushrooms are developing acrospheres on their tentacles as a defense against the frogspawn they know is right above them. The acrospheres are the white tips on the mushrooms where large numbers of stinging cells have developed.

That's a interesting defense you got your self some smart shrooms

I'd like to see more pictures, this is very interesting. I've actually not heard of shrooms doing this, is it common?
