FOTD #045 : veiled lady! (phallus indusiatus)
the veiled lady mushroom (AKA bamboo mushroom, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn, & bridal veil) is a saprotrophic fungus in the family phallaceae, the stinkhorns. this species is found in DR congo, nigeria, uganda, zaire, brazil, venezuela, costa rica, tobago, mexico, indonesia, nepal, malaysia, india, southern china, japan, taiwan & australia :-)
the big question : can i bite it??
yeah !! in eastern asia it is considered a delicacy (& an aphrodisiac), despite its rotten smell. it also holds medicinal properties.
p. indusiatus description :
"mature fruit bodies are up to 25 centimetres (10 inches) tall with a conical to bell-shaped cap that is 1.5–4 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) wide. the cap is covered with a greenish-brown spore-containing slime. a white mesh skirt surrounds the thick white stipe."

Zaire, “fallen soldier” (she’s fine she’s just a theater kid), Fights krill for fun, loses, Hangs around in wasteland and helps moths escape krills while being veryyyy dramatic , Might be a lil buff? Certainly isn’t weak, they’ve thrown multiple moths away from krills,They’ve “died” multiple times to krills( she’s dramatic) Absolutely loves the theater and will absolutely play if asked. Probably owns a spear like the waste land elder
