A WHEEL of Fortune contestant has shocked fans by revealing a bizarre secret during the game.

At Pat Sajak’s request, Leann from Missouri abruptly fished a rare mushroom out of her pocket that she snuck onto the set.

Pat, 77, was interviewing each of Monday’s contestants when he arrived at the unexpected mushroom enthusiast.

Leann began by describing her family, which includes dogs, cats, and two “bonus children and three bonus grandchildren.”

Pat parlayed the info into his unexpected question: “And some bonus mushrooms?”

“You’re a mushroom person?” he asked.

Leann confirmed: “Yes, I’m a mushroom person; I only hunt morel mushrooms. I brought one for you to see.”

And with that, Leann took out a mushroom for viewers and Pat to gaze upon- a standout moment since usually items aren’t brought from home.

“Is that a wooden mushroom or a real mushroom?” Pat quipped.

“It’s a real mushroom,” Leann replied matter-of-factly.

“They only grow once a year so you have to get out there when theyre popping up and pick them as quickly and as many as you can.”

Pat couldn’t resist a playful jab, saying, “Or pick them out of your pockets!”

Since Leann only finished with $1,000 her lucky charm did not help her.

As she exited the stage, Pat bid her an odd farewell, “We enjoyed meeting your mushroom.”

Social media fans were left amused and puzzled by the unexpected and peculiar moment.

One fan noted, “‘Anddd some bonus mushrooms’… Prime time TV @WheelofFortune.”

Another added, “Pat Sajak sending Leann home with $1K and saying hey we enjoyed meeting your mushroom ¯_(ツ)_/¯ most Wheel of Fortune thing ever.”

WHEEL STRANGE

Wheel of Fortune’s host since 1981, Pat, has gotten fast and loose as he winds down before retiring this June, and Ryan Seacrest takes over.

Recently, Pat yelled, “I just messed up!” as he realized his cue cards were out of order and asked a single contestant about how he was “married.”

Last year, the host got into a hairy situation when he pulled on a contestant’s large beard.

He also attempted to wrestle another unsuspecting contestant to the ground.

However, the contestant – a semi-pro wrestler – later said he “loved” the moment.

Pat also pulled out a fake fish for a contestant with a genuine fish phobia, a mockery she didn’t seem to take well.

There are also plenty of moments where Pat endears fans, of course.

Recently, a contestant missed the bonus round and gave Pat a genuine jump scare.

Once Pat opened the prize card, she loudly screamed and frightened the host with her candid reaction.
