Watch the Devil's Finger Fungus hatch like a Xenomorph egg

http://nerdist.com/watch-the-devils-finger-fungus-hatch-like-a-xenomorph-egg/

Ever seen a fungus hatch? Yeah, we hadn’t either, and it’s weird AF. While this crazy organism looks better suited to life on Proteus than Earth, the devil’s finger fungus (Clathrus archeri) is Native to Australia and New Zealand. It typically appears as a white, gelatinous orb, but when it comes time for fruiting, the ‘egg’ opens, unleashing four to eight blood-red arms (and likely a pinch of doom) on the world.
