  1. mushroom anchor

    A mushroom anchor is a type of anchor with a design that resembles a mushroom. It is used primarily for light-duty applications, such as anchoring small boats or buoy markers. The anchor's shape allows it to easily dig into mud or silt when dropped to the seabed, providing secure hold. The weight of this anchor provides the holding power, while the inverted mushroom shape provides suction and increased resistance when pulled. It is not suitable for rocky or hard surfaces due to its design.
