Knowledge: Plants and mushrooms with the common name 'Devil'..

Every pant has a scientific name.........though common names can be multiple......
Its funny that how many plants have names with the name Devil in them...
Some of my observation...
Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens)
Devil's club (Oplopanax horridus)
Devil's tongue weed (Grateloupia turuturu Yamada)
Devil's backbone (Kalanchoe sp.)

Especially fungi and mushrooms..........
Devil's Snuff-box  (Lycoperdon perlatum)
Devil's Finger's / Octopus Stinkhorn fu (Clathrus archeri)
Devil's Cigar (Chorioactis sp.)
Devil's Urn (Urnula craterium)
