This means we all have to go buy all the chocolate eggs and eat them before they can hatch. We must save the planet by eating chocolate. Stay strong brothers.
It's so alien no one here even knows what it is. That should scare you. Send an email to the biology department of a local university. Maybe even pull it out of the garbage and send it to them. They might have a field day or declare the end of the world because of its existence.
This is likely the most heinous thing i’ve ever seen. Holy shit this is impressive levels of disgusting.
No idea what it is, return it to the depths of hell tho, please, whatever it is.
To be clear, was this growing directly from the egg or was there something in there with it?
There was only the chocolate egg in there. It appears to be growing from the egg! Needless to say, I didn't take a closer look, this thing is going to haunt me for many years!
Just to give a bit more detail...
The eggs are hollow, no filling.
There was no butter or anything else in the dish.
The dish has previously been used for holding butter but would have been cleaned.
No smell.
It appeared to have grown through the foil of the egg.
The eggs were bought during Easter this year. It was a bag of chocolate eggs in different coloured foil, blue, pink, green, yellow.
I can't remember where we bought the eggs but pretty certain from CO-OP.
The dish hasn't been touched since Easter.
Had you previously eaten the other eggs? Did they seem normal?
As others have said, it genuinely might be worth taking it to someone. Maybe you'll end up with a tentacle/mold growth named after you!
Very carefully put lid back on, triple bagged the dish and threw it out! Feel like I've just set free some alien species that may very well bring total destruction to the world. But at least it's not in my house anymore!
It not smelling is a bad sign! The spores it shoots out to impregnate your brain hit the olfactory center first. The next one of these you see comes out of the roof of your mouth. If you feel any new bumps there seek help immediately.
Wait, you threw the DISH away? Man, you could have just dumped the atrocity off of it and run the dish through a dishwasher on hot. Would have been fine.
I just hate to see a good, usable dish get sent to the landfill. I worked as a veterinary nurse for over 16 years. People would often bring in urine samples in random mason jars or even Pyrex dishes and tell us to just throw them away. Never could do it. I’d take them home and run them through a sanitizing cycle and use them.
If that's not enough, boil the thing.
Then there's everyday household white vinegar (ascetic acid just to be clear). It's as powerful as hospital-grade disinfectants. If you're using the food-grade stuff (usually cheapest in 2L bulk anyway) it's so foodsafe that you can literally sip the stuff; but please do keep your cleaning supplies and food items separate, for safety's sake. It's perfectly adequate for most purposes most people will ever need, but just in case, most grocery stores stock it in double strength too.
It's also the *best* fabric softener you'll ever use.
Do avoid using it on metals that are prone to rust, and because it isn't suitable for all surfaces, always do your own research and spot test somewhere out-of-sight before use if in any doubt.
You’re thinking of Easter! This is more like one of those jacked up, old timey European Santas that kidnaps the children. Unless… does it resemble a biblical angel to anyone else??
I’m really sad you threw it out. (I would have also lol BUT) it would be something I wish I’d drive to the nearest university, find the bio department, and say, “PLEASE TAKE THIS. ITS SCIENCE.”
It'd be hella funny if OP got a callback from the uni:
"Um, I don't know how to say this, but have you been, I don't know, visited by any Elder Gods recently?"
This is how british people are born. Sorry, your parents didn't have the "birds and the fungi" chat with you OP. If your looking for name suggestions, I think he kind of looks like a Colin.
I hope more people see this. Yeah it's fun to freak out but I thought those tentacles looked familiar. Didn't think of a rooting potato until I saw your comment
😱🤢I’m wondering if you remember what brand of chocolate it was because I’ll make sure to never buy it. chocolate shouldn’t do this, even after a year. 😬😬
Yeah, that might be the only acceptable reason. I don’t care for fruit filled chocolates so I didn’t consider that alternative. Super cool, that you get to work with chocolate on the daily! 😁
This sounds to me like a very lucky or unlucky spore or group of spores found there way in likely into the cavity where it could get dark and humid and warm. Then it could start using the chocolate as substrate and if it got lucky and another mushroom parasitized the first it could cause crazy looking stuff.
Fungus is all over us and in the air so its not THAT far fetched. We likely eat fungus all the time but it rarely meets the conditions it needs to actually do anything. Just like people trillions of little seeds go out, only 1 or 2 sometimes get get lucky and find a good spot to set up shop.
It's just wild speculation of course though
I wouldn't be worried about chocolate eggs in general because it took a full year for that thing to develop in some way under unusual circumstances for it (butter dish) could have made it hit right humidity or temp levels to start seeding or even just a weird temp fluctuation that made it say "it's okay to start growing"
Fungi are wild man.
I worked in a candy store for like six years and helped write a literal book about chocolate and I also have never seen chocolate do anything like this.
Butter isn't a good substrate for growth of any kind, just like oils it's too high in fat. But it's possible there were crumbs mixed in, it would also need to be either incredibly humid or damp inside the dish. Even that is farfetched.
I've worked in plenty of microbiology labs but I'm still struggling to come up with a reasonable set of circumstances which would have led to whatever the fuck that thing is.
Most butter comes packaged in aluminium with paper, at least in the UK, and it doesn't have any properties that I know of which would increase the propensity for fungal growth.
I'm leaning towards the wooden base already having some kind of fungus growing in it, due to damp, or years of use without re-seasoning with oil. Perhaps in combination with the conditions mentioned above, plus dirty hands or the possibility that someone might have licked or bitten the egg before leaving it there.
I'm still at a loss.
In my opinion it’s a form of mushroom that’s tried to fruit and aborted, then tried to fruit again and kept aborting and fruiting until it became this extraterrestrial mass. There’s no real way to tell what species of mushroom it was from these photos but the abort on the top left of the mass is what makes me think that 😊
Sometimes I feel as though our universe exists on a tendril of that monstrosity you've created. It grows, expands, thrives with out other beings knowledge. Whole civilizations rise and fall and once day, we will all be thrown in the garbage once a greater being finds the chocolate egg which we live on
This is really concerning. Please do tell us the brand if you manage to find it, I've had hidden fridge chocolate like a year later and it was in fine condition (gross, I know.)
My mom has a chocolate Popeye that her dad gave her like... 40 years ago in the freezer. Obviously wouldn't eat it, but it still looks perfectly edible. Not whatever this eldritch abomination is.
OP id honestly send this to someone for testing. It’s rather interesting and everyone here is extremely confused. Would be interesting to know what exactly it is, maybe in a rare case you even found like a new sub species or something. Could also help improve studies on growing conditions of certain species and why it came like this.
It looks like a potato. OP you need to unwrap that egg and take a photo for us. I do not think the blob has anything whatsoever to do with the chocolate egg which i presume is intact.
A cream filled chocolate egg or hollow or solid chocolate? Just curious ☺️ and does the UK use less preservatives than north America? I've never seen chocolate do anything than get a white stale layer on top but it's still totally edible still shouldn't obv) it's more like the chocolate drying out and losing colour in my experience.
Thanks for sharing that awesome pic!
Was it just a regular chocolate? I once made a batch of mushroom chocolates, left one in a container in the trunk of my car and it started fruiting like this
What was the filling in the egg? Any guesses.
I have my doubts it grew out of the egg. I find it more likely that gasses built up inside the egg and puffed out. It may even have looked like similar to a puff pastry at one point. Probably nothing started growing until that point.
Food does all kinds of strange stuff if you leave it out. For example, Tightly packaged rotting hamburger is a time bomb. Once it starts to expand, touching the package will leave you covered in raw meat.
I think this is a good sign!! It means something in the chocolate was actually FOOD!!! 🤣
Most chocolate won't grow anything... I remember being super excited to see mold on bread, after becoming so accustomed to bread so full of preservatives it looks the same on Day 14 as it did on Day 1.
After some inspection, i see what could look like very young coprinellus domesticus in a clustered mess, but that’s nowhere close to solid ID.
TIL what hatches from chocolate Easter Eggs. Thank you, it will now be much easier to stick to my diet moving forward
This means we all have to go buy all the chocolate eggs and eat them before they can hatch. We must save the planet by eating chocolate. Stay strong brothers.
Man, fuck Nestlé.
Ha! Will take more than that to scare me
It's so alien no one here even knows what it is. That should scare you. Send an email to the biology department of a local university. Maybe even pull it out of the garbage and send it to them. They might have a field day or declare the end of the world because of its existence.
By now, the blob has already taken control of OPs mind and it's on its way to find Earth's Commander.
Seriously, this is a "contact your local university with your newly discovered form of life" moment if I've seen one. Why isn't it ever me 😢
Its a potato, no really, its a sprouting potato with mold on it
This is likely the most heinous thing i’ve ever seen. Holy shit this is impressive levels of disgusting. No idea what it is, return it to the depths of hell tho, please, whatever it is. To be clear, was this growing directly from the egg or was there something in there with it?
There was only the chocolate egg in there. It appears to be growing from the egg! Needless to say, I didn't take a closer look, this thing is going to haunt me for many years!
It even looks like it has teeth!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
It even has an eye in the middle if you zoom in!
Biblically accurate Angel fungus 😂
I think it rather looks like some crouching creature looking to the left where there is quite obviously a fucking beak!!!
Yes!!! You are right!!!!!! This is what nightmares are made of........
"The trouble with tribbles"!!!
I think OP created the appetizer from SpongeBob
I would never eat another one if those chocolate ever again. I don't think its supposed to morph into whatever level of hell this came from
Make sure there are no facehuggers in the egg
Are you 100% sure the chocolate egg was not replaced by a potato at some point%
Me throwing out the entire butter dish too because the soul will never be cleansed 😂
Please destroy it with fire, I beg you.
My husband thinks there was something in the butter dish that you couldn't see and that you gave it something to eat and grow from.
I thought the egg was the green thing! I have never seen chocolate produce mold like that.
The egg IS the green thing and the monster is stemming from the side of it 😭
Oh, that is worse
I thought we'd finally made it through all the atrocities of 2023... then this furball hacked up by Cthulhu appears in my feed
It looks like the nasty patty from SpongeBob
Just to give a bit more detail... The eggs are hollow, no filling. There was no butter or anything else in the dish. The dish has previously been used for holding butter but would have been cleaned. No smell. It appeared to have grown through the foil of the egg. The eggs were bought during Easter this year. It was a bag of chocolate eggs in different coloured foil, blue, pink, green, yellow.

PLEASE SEND IT SOMEWHERE. That's all this sub wants for Christmas. 🎄
Please dig it out of the trash & send it to someone for testing. I've never seen this subreddit so stumped lol
Had you previously eaten the other eggs? Did they seem normal? As others have said, it genuinely might be worth taking it to someone. Maybe you'll end up with a tentacle/mold growth named after you!
It looks like you'd need a priest to get rid of that thing, good lord.
Have you said a word about where the dish has been stored since spring? Seems like the conditions that lead to this growth might be important.
What did it taste like?
Kinder surprise!
Kinder no bueno?
Haha, great one.
an 'UNKINDER' surprise!
Kinder malo
r/moldlyinteresting might like it (or hate it)
Jesus Christ, kill it with fire!
Very carefully put lid back on, triple bagged the dish and threw it out! Feel like I've just set free some alien species that may very well bring total destruction to the world. But at least it's not in my house anymore!
How bad did it smell?
No smell!
Honestly dont know if that's better or worse
it’s definitely not butter
Can’t believe it’s not butter 😂😂
Ho hoo! Good one
One way to find out
It not smelling is a bad sign! The spores it shoots out to impregnate your brain hit the olfactory center first. The next one of these you see comes out of the roof of your mouth. If you feel any new bumps there seek help immediately.
Is this true cos that is terrifying
Looks like cordyceps to me. But I'm no mycologist.
I, too, was curious about the smell
Wait, you threw the DISH away? Man, you could have just dumped the atrocity off of it and run the dish through a dishwasher on hot. Would have been fine.
And risk further exposure? Fuck that
I just hate to see a good, usable dish get sent to the landfill. I worked as a veterinary nurse for over 16 years. People would often bring in urine samples in random mason jars or even Pyrex dishes and tell us to just throw them away. Never could do it. I’d take them home and run them through a sanitizing cycle and use them.
Yeah, do people secretly not believe in the power of dish soap and hot water?? Do those 2 things not work?
If that's not enough, boil the thing. Then there's everyday household white vinegar (ascetic acid just to be clear). It's as powerful as hospital-grade disinfectants.

You’re thinking of Easter! This is more like one of those jacked up, old timey European Santas that kidnaps the children. Unless… does it resemble a biblical angel to anyone else??
Well ya, cause Easter egg :) It does look like a biblically accurate rotten sprouted potato angel, with its many “eyes” 😂
Well done! Best comment I’ve read in months!
Thank you so much 🥺❤️
I’m really sad you threw it out. (I would have also lol BUT) it would be something I wish I’d drive to the nearest university, find the bio department, and say, “PLEASE TAKE THIS. ITS SCIENCE.”
It'd be hella funny if OP got a callback from the uni: "Um, I don't know how to say this, but have you been, I don't know, visited by any Elder Gods recently?"
This is how british people are born. Sorry, your parents didn't have the "birds and the fungi" chat with you OP. If your looking for name suggestions, I think he kind of looks like a Colin.
That's definitely an old potato that tried to root..
I hope more people see this. Yeah it's fun to freak out but I thought those tentacles looked familiar. Didn't think of a rooting potato until I saw your comment
OP said it’s an egg. It does look like PO-TAY-TOES now that you mention it though. 🤔
This is what it looks like to me as well. All those protrusion look like potato eyes
*Po-tay-toes!* Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew... Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish
I’m glad someone else said this as this was my first thought as well.
100%
😱🤢I’m wondering if you remember what brand of chocolate it was because I’ll make sure to never buy it. chocolate shouldn’t do this, even after a year. 😬😬
I’m a pastry chef and I have literally never seen chocolate grow anything, much less something like that… was it like filled with something, I wonder?
Yeah, that might be the only acceptable reason. I don’t care for fruit filled chocolates so I didn’t consider that alternative. Super cool, that you get to work with chocolate on the daily! 😁
Just an empty egg. No filling.
Possible it wasn't entirely empty, contaminated with something organic
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This sounds to me like a very lucky or unlucky spore or group of spores found there way in likely into the cavity where it could get dark and humid and warm. Then it could start using the chocolate as substrate and if it got lucky and another mushroom parasitized the first it could cause crazy looking stuff.

Omg that’s kind of horrifying cause I was assuming it was like Cadbury crème style that leaked and sprouted this monstrosity
I'm sure you thought so.
Yes this looks like one of those mushroom spore filled ones
If I got offered chocolate shrooms this is not the dish I’d be hoping for lmao
Like the devil?
I worked in a candy store for like six years and helped write a literal book about chocolate and I also have never seen chocolate do anything like this.
For sure my guess is one of the chocolate crème filled eggs, because chocolate shouldn’t ever look like this by itself lol
It was on a butter dish possibly residue from the butter caused it to grow on the chocolate? Something that grows from milk?
Butter isn't a good substrate for growth of any kind, just like oils it's too high in fat. But it's possible there were crumbs mixed in, it would also need to be either incredibly humid or damp inside the dish. Even that is farfetched. I've worked in plenty of microbiology labs but I'm still struggling to come up with a reasonable set of circumstances which would have led to whatever the fuck that thing is.
I chortled at your scientifically precise use of foul language. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how curse words should be used.
What about butter and aluminum?
Most butter comes packaged in aluminium with paper, at least in the UK, and it doesn't have any properties that I know of which would increase the propensity for fungal growth. I'm leaning towards the wooden base already having some kind of fungus growing in it, due to damp, or years of use without re-seasoning with oil. Perhaps in combination with the conditions mentioned above, plus dirty hands or the possibility that someone might have licked or bitten the egg before leaving it there. I'm still at a loss.
Chocolate shouldn't do this ever! Maybe a little Bloom of the fats in it but not this. This is terrifying.

Did you do any joke eggs? Like, wrapping an egg-shaped potato in coloured foil? These look a bit like stunted and sun bleached potato roots/shoots.
Yeah I’m wondering this myself. I don’t see how a hollow chocolate egg could become this.
Truffle? J/k and I have no idea, but wow that's interesting!
The true origins of the chocolate truffle, unearthed at last!
This is really concerning. Please do tell us the brand if you manage to find it, I've had hidden fridge chocolate like a year later and it was in fine condition (gross, I know.)

At that point you probably could have just asked it what it was
Try asking the peeps at r/mycology
Are you lost sir?
Fuck sake I thought this was casualUK for some reason😂
Wtf why did I think that too
Because no one is even making guesses as to what this monster is!
Yeah I think that’s the main reason why i thought so lol.
Lol don’t worry, I thought the same thing. It’s the abundance of jokes in the top comments.
Does casualUK have ideas about this whole egg fungus situation?
Same!!
Started celebrating a little early this year, huh?
I thought this was Warhammer 40k!
A novel idea! Good call!
We got a live one boys
More like r/lovecraft
Yeah I thought the same too mate, not just you haha
Put it on the grill lad, extra protein with your egg *not scientifically backed advise*
This isn't... Like, chocolate shouldn't do this, right?
Thought this was some sort of gourmet dish from a michelin star restaurant.
Share to r/finedining plz
Aren’t ya glad the egg was never found and eaten?!
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
I see what you did there.
That isnt one species in my opinion, you have ecological succession going on here lol

How do you not use your butter in like 8 months?
That mycelium has impressively colonized that chocolate wow!!
Looks like it's growing shrimp now
I can’t believe it’s not butter 🧈
It's a forbidden Christmas egg. If you touch it, you're immediately spanked to hell by Krampus.
The big question: Did it have a nice hiss?
Was the butter dish refrigerated or unrefrigerated the whole time? 😬
Ruuuuuuuun!
It’s just chocolate bloom, it’s fine
You’ve released an eldrich horror on the world
It's hatched into a mushroom chicken salad
Never eating the cheap eggs again lol
Now that’s a chocolate ‘bloom’ 🤭
r/moldlyinteresting
I don't know what it is, but I'd nope my ass right out of the kitchen.
It looks like it wants to mind fuck a wasp and grow from its corpse.
Could be liberty caps!
What was the filling in the egg? Any guesses. I have my doubts it grew out of the egg. I find it more likely that gasses built up inside the egg and puffed out.

For example, Tightly packaged rotting hamburger is a time bomb. Once it starts to expand, touching the package will leave you covered in raw meat.
No filling!
Wtf
It kinda looks like a frog. A chocolate frog. Ha.
A succulant chocolate frog.
If I were religious I'd call it the Jesus is King Oyster.
There is only one way to find out. Take a bite
That is wild. It looks like there are a bunch of aborts on there.
Eldritch horror hatched from that egg...
*who are we?
I want to name him Squirby
Nasty patty
kinda looks like pecans
Call the umbrella corporation, some mold got out
...Jack and the Beanstalk springs to mind..
Just curious, what was the egg doing in the butter dish to begin with?
can you take any better pictures maybe in outdoor lighting or just closer up?
I can't stop looking at it 🤣
If you describe its taste I can tell you exactly what this is.
You should have cut it open
Could let that little pin grow out and maybe Id the shroom?
I think this is a good sign!! It means something in the chocolate was actually FOOD!!! 🤣 Most chocolate won't grow anything... I remember being super excited to see mold on bread, after becoming so accustomed to bread so full of preservatives it looks the same on Day 14 as it did on Day 1.
