It looks like something in the family phallaceae to me! I know them as stink horn mushrooms. They get into some pretty wild shapes and they smell dreadful

Here's a picture of one!

Here's another

And here's one to really show you the nasty brown slime

What do they taste like?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Oh god. The brown stuff on the orange one smells exactly like it looks.

The one on the right looks like a Roman dodecahedron

Tolypocladium sp, which grow from an inedible Elaphomyces truffle

Clathrus columnatus perhaps? Def one of the stinkhorns
