Mushroom Rock is a unique limestone formation shaped by wind and ocean erosion into a narrow base with a wider cap, giving it its unusual name. The sculpted rock stands among the weathered coastal cliffs of Cape Peron and is one of the most photographed features along the loop trail. Its unusual shape is a good example of the powerful coastal processes that continue to shape the headland.
