Recently a rare mushroom was discovered near Xi'an, China but upon further investigation the mushroom isn't exactly what the villagers thought it was...

A group of locals discovered this rare fungal-like object while drilling a well on the outskirts of the city and presumed it to be some form of rare mushroom species.

Confused by the discovery, the locals called in the news organization Xi'an Up Close, an investigative program, to try and determine what they had found.

Ye, the female reporter sent by the station, reports on her findings in a TV news piece that has gone viral in China. 

From the Shanghaiist:

"When we dug down to about 80 meters deep, we fished out this long, fleshy object," a villager told Ye. "It's got a nose and an eye, but we have no idea what it is!" 

Ye describes the mystery object: "As we can all see, this looks like a type of fungus, on both ends of which you'll find mushroom heads."

"On this side, you can see what looks like a pair of lips," she adds. "And on that side, there is a tiny hole which extends all the way back to this side. The object looks very shiny, and it feels really fleshy and meaty too."

Turns out that it's suppose to feel fleshy and meaty. The item that they drillers (pun intended) had found was actually a masturbation toy, with a fake vagina on one end and a fake anus on the other.

I would just hate to be the person that has to go to this village and apologies for the mistake. "Sorry but that rare mushroom species you found, yeah, turns out it's just an object used to get horny dude off..."
