Meet the #LatticedStinkhorn, A Fragrant #Fungus Beloved of Flies https://baynature.org/2023/01/25/meet-the-latticed-stinkhorn-a-fragrant-fungus-beloved-of-flies/ #fungi #mushrooms

"Like all #stinkhorns, C. ruber begins its life above ground as a dirty white little 'egg', peeking out from soil and detritus. With time the egg can start to show the faint edges of the geometric shape growing within. Once the #mushroom inside is mature enough, it bursts upward out of the egg, and in a matter of minutes is a fully formed, fully bizarre structure."
