Clavaria zollingeri, also known as violet coral, is a type of fungus.

The specimen, which is about the size of a cauliflower, was discovered in woodland at Paccombe Farm which belongs to The Donkey Sanctuary.

According to the charity, it is only the second time the fungus has been recorded in Devon.

Conservation officer Helen Cavilla said: "I spotted something looking oddly like it was from an aquarium nestled amongst moss and leaf litter.

"It was really exciting to realise what it was when I got closer."

Dr David Farley, of the Devon Fungus Group, said it was a "remarkable find".
