It's not Funguary, but I was bored and decided to draw mushrooms from photos, most of which I had saved for the challenge
I'm planning to draw mushrooms that match my OCs, but I haven't decided yet how this will be done (You may have seen one of them for 21 days with Giant Puffball)

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?

Mutinus caninus (dog stinkhorn)
I found these stinkhorn ‘eggs’ (first picture) almost a month ago, and have been (somewhat obsessively) checking back on them every few days ever since, documenting their progress. I was delighted to find that they had finally emerged today, and revealed themselves to be dog stinkhorns, rather than the common stinkhorns I had assumed they were (it’s difficult to tell from the eggs, even for people far more practiced than myself).
Stinkhorns are perhaps the most alien mushrooms I know of, starting off life in an egg-like sack, from which they rapidly emerge, their tip covered in smelly slime (gleba) which attracts the flies that carry their spores far and wide.
Dog stinkhorns are among the least smelly of the stinkhorns - common stinkhorns and the rarer (in Britain) Clathrus species stink like rotting meat. By contrast, dog stinkhorns have a mild, off-putting smell that I couldn’t detect until my nose was only a few inches away from them.
Once the olive green slime (visible beneath the remains of the egg veil on the tip) is eaten away by flies, a reddish tip will be revealed beneath. Then, a few hours to two days later, the fungus will wither away, leaving very little trace of its existence aside from the remains of the egg at its base.
Like many stinkhorns, some field guides list the eggs as edible, though not much sought after. The mature specimens are potentially poisonous, as people have reported their dogs becoming very ill after eating them, and anyway are not an appealing meal prospect.

There is a pretty amazing and hilariously obscene-looking crop of Dog Stinkhorn fungus (Mutinus caninus) coming up with the primrose in one of my flowerbeds right now.

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.

last time I asked you a question it was a mistake. Tell me about mushroom foraging! How did you get started? Do you eat them? What’s the coolest looking mushroom? Were you into Dark fairy tales as a kid too or is this separate? What’s specifically weird about the mushroom community
It was a reasonable mistake.
Mushrooms! I don’t know why exactly I got intensely into fungus, like I was always into nature and flowers and then in the beginning of quarantine the governor closed down state parks and forests for a few weeks and I was like, insane until they opened up again, and I have never left since. I am typing this from the forest floor. But seriously, I may have been reading stuff about mushrooms at the time and being in the forest all the time, I just started fixating on them. I used to go foraging with my parents in Russia and that was the last time I actually ate what I found. Now I’m too paranoid.
The “coolest” looking is a relative description because like, I think Mutinus caninus (dog stinkhorn) is cool looking, but everyone hates me when I post it because it basically looks like a carrot covered in feces:
Old man of the woods is cool in a non-gross way:
Tolypocladium sp. is gross and cool, like it’s a parasite that just grows out of earth balls or truffles subterraneously and you have to dig it out:
Xylaria polymorpha, or dead man’s fingers - my picture just looks like goose poop but if you google it you can find examples where it really fucking looks like cadaver fingers! Why would nature even do that!
And then like, Destroying Angel species of Amanita are pretty unremarkable looking, which makes them cool because it’s just like, a white mushroom but it contains enough toxins in like half a cap to shut down your whole stupid liver:
Many things are weird about the mycology community but there’s the good weird, like for example yesterday on IG someone posted a lovely macro of some tiny fungus and then you swipe and it’s growing out of rabbit poop, like they found rabbit shit in the forest and then hovered over it with their expensive camera to get this amazing tiny mushroom picture, and I think that’s beautiful and should be rewarded.
The weird I don’t get is people’s enthusiasm for eating shit that clearly just should not be eaten. Like the eggs of the dog stinkhorn above are allegedly edible but why???? Are you in a famine?? Or when people eat Amanitas. Like there’s no way an Amanita rubescens tastes good enough that you should risk eating a mushroom from the same genus that contains species called Death Cap or Destroying Angel.
