Fungus Rock, known in Maltese as Il-Ġebla tal-Ġeneral, is an islet overlooking the black lagoon of Dwejra.

It is part of the iconic scenery with the famous Azure Window and it’s also famous for the Maltese fungus or Maltese mushroom,  even if this plant is actually not a fungus. The scientific name is Cynomorium coccineum.
