Stinkhorns!

The lawn-dicks of last year have returned! YAY! I found two old ones from last night, and a new one growing this morning. It REEKED and was covered in greenbottles. 8)

Yay for stinky fungus!

Do you suppose your lawn-dicks might be Phallus impudicus (http://www.bluewillowpages.com/mushroomexpert/phallus_impudicus.html) or one of its cousins? The description you gave in your earlier post does sound rather like it.

Wow, that's even more impressive than Phallus impudicus! Cool! It does look truly disgusting. Aren't fungi fascinating? *laugh*
