What Wikipedia says

A mushroom rock, also called a pedestal rock, rock pedestal, or gour, is a naturally occurring rock whose shape, as its name implies, resembles a mushroom. The rocks are deformed in a number of different ways: by erosion and weathering, glacial action, or from a sudden disturbance.
