Mushroom rock, otherwise called platform rock or a stone platform, is a normally creating rock whose shape is like a mushroom. The mushroom rocks are shaped by various cycles. Disintegration and enduring by wind and frosty activity are the fundamental explanation yet some of the time it very well might be from an unexpected unsettling influence. Mushroom rocks are appears to be indistinguishable, however unique in relation to, yardang.

A mushroom rock, likewise called gour or gara in certain spots, is a commonplace mushroom-molded landform for the most part found in desert or semi-desert districts. At a typical level of a few feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) from the surface, the breeze is conveying a large portion of the materials. In this way, through the scraped area process wind hits an uncovered stone surface and cleans it or scratches it. At times, harder rocks and milder stone are organized evenly one over to one another, subsequent in such sort of disintegration. Running water can likewise dissolve much the same way for instance the mushroom rock in Timna Park, Israel.

Once in a while, the minerals construction of the stones can be a critical element; assuming the upper piece of the stone is more impervious to substance enduring, it disintegrates more leisurely than the base. Enduring of the uncovered hard rock layer eventually uncovered the lower rock to disintegration from wind, water, salt interruption, and so forth., contingent upon the nearby climate. The gentler layer of rock is dissolved quickly and prompts the development of wretchedness though; the overlying harder rocks are impervious to this cycle. Eventually detached mushroom rocks may saw as remaining over the new, lower part. Icy mass activity might make such sorts of landforms through scraped area.

A long period of time back the desert was a maritime bed. Subsequent to breaking the level the sea withdrew and afterward the Layers of sedimentary stone were uncovered. A few rocks opposing them against disintegration with changing time and give some unmistakable and one of a kind stone developments to the white desert. Wind and sand etched more than millennia to molded wonderful chalk-white scene and 3-4.5 meters tall mushroom rock arrangements over the White Desert in Egypt.
