Funguary Feb 25 - Cryptic Stinkhorn - Clathrus archeri

Clathrus archeri, var. Mari.Lwyd is a rare form of european stinkhorn commonly found in Wales. It can reach up to ninety centimeters in total height, from generative organ to the tips of it's tentacles.

The tentacles exude a syrupy liquid commonly understood to have beer-like properties, designed to attract various insects and mollusks that then become drunk, and die near the fungus. This ensures it has plenty of nutrients to eventually grow more fungal matter under the skull and lever it to the top.

Once exposed, the skull will weather and develop a cloak-like veil, enabling it to be used as the basis of a Mari Lwyd costume. However, if not given regular alcoholic application, the fungus will deliquesce and collapse.

Ravenel's Stinkhorn 》 Phallus ravenelii

So many stinkhorns! I've only ever seen them in one specific flowerbed on campus but they are thriving there.

A couple had already gone, well... flaccid. But I picked one apart and found some goo! Beneath the outer layer of the volva is a clear, gelatinous substance that seems to be unique to the Phallaceae family.

They also have a unique stipe called a receptaculum that is hollow all the way through the hole at the tip of the cap. It's quite easy to see how this genus got its name.

Here's my stinkhorn for Funguary! I had a lot of fun with the skirt. Originally I wanted to make it like an external crinoline, but then decided to go for something a bit more fantastical. Still working on my feef style studies.

Could you pls do a FOTD for smooth cage fungus if you haven't already? I think they look pretty interesting :]

FOTD #076 : smooth cage fungus! (ileodictyon gracile)

the smooth cage fungus is a saprotrophic fungus in the family phallaceae. it is native to australia, but has also been found in china, japan, india, south korea, england, italy, portugal & spain.

the big question : can i bite it?? the edibility is unconfirmed - but the putrid smell will steer you away !!

i. gracile description :

"the smooth cage fungus's basidiocarps (fruit bodies), are shaped like a ball with interlaced or latticed branches. it is a whitish, mesh ball."

[images : source & source] [fungus description : source]

"thank you for the request !! i could've sworn i did the white basket (a very similar fungus) a while ago,, but apparently i didn't? or maybe the tumblr search is broken, lol. who knows !!"

Common stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus)

This is the first time I've actually found these infamous fungi by following the scent! They smell powerfully of rotten meat, a feature designed to attract flies (you can see a couple very much enjoying it in the first photo), who eat the gleba - the dark sticky substance that covers the cap. Some of it will stick to the flies, and this is how the mushroom's spores get spread.

They emerge from eggs which, when gathered early enough, are edible, but predictably disgusting tasting.

🍄 Funguary 25: Stinkhorn

The rancid smell emanating off of these walking mushrooms can be detected from over a kilometre away, and can incapacitate most adventurers within 10 meters. Initially, it was thought that the tip of the bell was the source of the Stinkhorn's odour. Secondary theories suggested it may come from the web-like structure of the gills.

As it turned out, both were correct! Newer studies have shown that each part of the stinkhorn's body produces a uniquely terribly odour, like a jumbled up garbage bag on legs.

Day 25 has been completed! And oh boy what a day, today the prompt was stinkhorn. While there are a lot of weird looking stinkhorns, there is also the, well, sus looking ones. So ignoring that part here's a fun fact about stinkhorns: they smell bad to attract flies who then spread the spores :)

Elegant stinkhorn 》 Mutinus elegans

A new-to-me species of stinkhorns!! These guys go by many common names including dog stinkhorn, headless stinkhorn, and the devil's dipstick.

When I found them they were quite damaged. You can see the remains of its slimy spore mass coating the stalk and a couple of immature eggs waiting to emerge. As with most (if not all) fungi in the Phallaceae family, its gleba is gelatinous and foul-smelling, a feature which serves to attract flies and other insects that feed upon the gleba, thus aiding in spore dispersal.

Devil's Fingers, Octopus Stinkhorn, Clathrus archeri (also, trypophobia cw)

Aotearoa, photo credit to me

This is Clathrus archeri, also known as the Octopus stinkhorn, or the Devil's Fingers. As with other stinkhorns, the spores are held within a sticky and foul-smelling substance called the gleba, which attracts flies, which then brings the spores elsewhere. This can be seen in the photos as the dark brown or black substance on the fingers.

Each fruiting body is about 8-15 cm long (hand for comparison in middle photo), and several may emerge bunched together, or separately. The fingers are very light and surprisingly fragile, and have the texture of wet styrofoam packaging pellets.

The fruiting body emerges from an egg-like growth, called the volva, the remnants of which can be seen at the base of the fingers. The last photo shows the immature fruiting body (or the primordium) soon to emerge from the volva. When mature, the fingers will swell with water from rain to many times their initial size and unfurl out of the ground.
