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.

So there's a mushroom called Mutinus Caninus or the Dog Stinkhorn.
It's part of the phallacae family because it looks phallic. It's the dog penis mushroom. What was the person smoking while naming this?

Funguary 2024 Day 25
🪬 Week 4: Cryptic
🐕 Mutinus caninus aka Dog stinkhorn
A werewolf demon who can transform into a dog. He is intelligent, but sometimes his animal nature can take over. Also, like all Phallaceae, he is stinks, probably because of his horns.
I hope I can portray someone else from this family next time, they are all so weird.

Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄
Since I was a child, I've heard the saying: "beauty is in the eye of." Where did that saying come from? Well apparently, the sentiment was first expressed in the 3rd Century BC in Greek. Shakespeare later in 1588 expressed the sentiment but not in those words. The person credited with the English verse, as I quoted, is a 19th century Irish writer, Margaret Hungerford in the book Molly Bawn, 1878 (phrases.org.uk). Interesting, huh … ya gotta love the internet.
There are people, adults, alive today who don't remember life without the internet or cell phones. Well, at least they will never need to deal with and encyclopedia salesman. In the words of a popular Sci-Fi character, "fascinating."
This is an interesting looking mushroom. It's called a Stinkhorn mushroom (I think - I could have misidentified it) because it apparently gives off a foul odor, which I didn't not perceive while taking this photograph. This specimen looks like one end of a white dog bone sticking up from green grass. The base of the mushroom is yellow.
I personally don't think it is the prettiest mushroom around. But somebody else might think it's beautiful.
"What you see is not what others see. We inhabit parallel worlds of perception, bounded by our interests and experience. What is obvious to some is invisible to others." - George Monbiot
