Lysurus sp. |
This stinkhorn mushroom has been called Lysurus periphragmoides for ages and still is, but, evidently, it is not. See Lysurus species 01 at MushroomExpert.Com for the gory details. It is a fascinating fungus no matter the name. The collection pictured here was found in August growing from soil beneath a mulch bed. Weather conditions were extremely hot and humid after heavy summer rains. |
