Chinese news confuses masturbation toy with a mysterious mushroom

Earlier this week, Chinese news program Xi’an Up Close told the story of a mysterious two-headed mushroom discovered in the rural part of Liucunbu, outside the capital of Shaanxi province, while digging for a new well. The villagers kept it in a bucket, but it was no mushroom, but a male masturbator toy.

Wondering what it was, the villagers kept their mysterious discovery in a bucket of water and occasionally poked it. That is, with their fingers. “When we dug down to about 80m deep, we fished out this long, fleshy object,” one villager told reporter Ye Yunfeng (via Shingaiist) It’s got a nose and an eye, but we have no idea what it is!”

The villager added that even his 80 year-old neighbor has never seen anything like this before.

“As we can all see, this looks like a type of fungus, on both ends of which you’ll find mushroom heads,” said the reporter.

“On this side, you can see what looks like a pair of lips. 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 very fleshy and meaty too.”

Unknown to the villagers, what they had actually discovered was a male masturbation aid. The “pair of lips” represents a vagina, and the “tiny hole” represents an anus.

Still, the villagers had their own theories, thinking that they’d found a type of lingzhi mushroom; the reporter seemed to agree, adding that the lingzhi mushroom can be found in the region and even was a secret to longevity.

The news report quickly went viral in China and the rest of Asia as people online knew this was no mystery and pointed out that the villagers had discovered a sex toy; this program seemed to have no idea what it filmed.
