Common Stinkhorn
Phallus impudicus
The common stinkhorn is a striking and unusual fungus, best known for its pervasive, carrion-like odor. Its development begins with the 'witch's egg' stage, from which a porous, white stalk emerges remarkably fast, often within hours. The cap is covered in a dark green, slimy gleba containing the spores, which attracts flies to aid in dispersal.
