The Stone Mushrooms, Natural rock formations near Kardzhali, Bulgaria.
The Stone Mushrooms stretch across three hectares of land, featuring pink stems and green caps reaching heights of 2.5 meters near Beli Plast village.
The formations developed through millions of years of water and wind erosion, when the region was submerged beneath an ancient ocean with volcanic activity.
A local tale narrates how four sisters turned into stone mushrooms while defending themselves against bandits, with their leader becoming the nearby black hill.
The site stands between Kardzhali and Haskovo, offering parking facilities and marked trails for visitors to explore the surrounding forest landscape.
The mushroom caps contain celadonite deposits giving them green tints, while the stems display pink hues due to clinoptilolite mineral concentrations.
