Mother nature is glorious. With a wide variety of flora and fauna making up the ecosystem, some questionable-looking plants and animals have us wondering why they even exist. From spiders hiding in weird places to crabs joining a barbecue, Mother Nature can be scary as hell. Join us as we take a look at 45 of the scariest pics, courtesy of dear Mother Nature.
Fingers or Fungus?
Imagine walking in a forest or the woods, and you come across this scary sight. No one would blame you for thinking you came across a corpse in a shallow grave. You’re actually looking at a fungus called Dead Man’s Fingers.

Typically found in Europe and North America, this freaky-looking fungus is responsible for many calls to rangers and law enforcement from hikers who have stumbled across the Dead Man’s Fingers and thought it was something more sinister. Of all the things Mother Nature could have chosen to create, she made this, scaring unsuspecting hikers every year.
