A friend of mine sent me this image and claimed this is a real plant. Any idea what it is?
Clatrhrus archeri ?
But a fungi, not plant.

Thanks! Any idea where these grow? I’d be freaked out if i’d walk into this thing in a forest or field.
Would this freak you out?

Exactly the material Sigourney Weaver would encounter when entering a random dark cave on a alien planet.

The surrounding stones are the giveaway—Lithops aka Living Stones but I’ve only ever seen photos and never in that state, only what’s inside that casing/membrane. It’s pretty neat though if that’s how they propagate or was someone playing PhotoShop? The colors are right though if not. What’s the story on it,priit?

Yes, the Lithops it is. I have tried growing them twice or thrice.
The trick is that you have to water them only twice a year. The latter is impossible for a caring gardener 
no photoshop.
