“It is said that when the devil’s cigar unfurls, it releases a strange hissing noise and hazy cloud of spores,” park officials say.
Though we aren’t on the set of the apocalyptic television series, a unique, hissing mushroom that tends to “puzzle scientists” was recently found at Inks Lake State Park, in Burnet, Texas. The park is about two hours away from San Antonio.. It was also named the State Mushroom of Texas on July 22, 2021, according to park officials.
The Devil’s Cigar can typically be found growing on decaying cedar elm stumps in Central and North Texas. Park officials said the only other place the fungus can be found is around Kyushu, Japan. “It is said that when the devil’s cigar unfurls, it releases a strange hissing noise and hazy cloud of spores,” park officials said.
The mushroom typically appears in late fall and is a “dark brown, fuzzy capsule that spans three to four inches long,” park officials said on social media. It’s one of the rarest mushrooms in the world.

What's stopping lawmakers from legalizing sports betting? - Texas Wants to KnowSuper Bowl LVII is just over a week away, but Texas residents won't be able to place bets on the game -- at least not legally. Some state lawmakers are working to change that, but they could face political hurdles just to get their bills to a floor vote. State Sen. Carol Alvarado (D-Houston) has filed SJR 17, which would create a Texas Gaming Commission and allow for legalized casino gambling in the state, while a yet-to-be-introduced bill back by the Sports Betting Alliance will focus more specifically on sports betting.
