A Vietnamese doctor was surprised recently to discover dozens of small 'mushrooms' growing in a man's ears.

The patient came to Dr Cuong in Ha Noi in December complaining of painful and itchy ears.

On examination with an endoscope, Cuong found the 2 cm-long fungi growing just above the eardrums.

He quickly removed them and told the patient it would take a few days for his ears to recover.

The fungi were causing inflammation and his uncomfortable symptoms, Cuong said.
