Mutinus ravenelii (Mutinus caninus) - Dog Stinkhorn - Himbeerrote Hundsrute - Roze Stinkzwam
Netherlands, Bussum, Crailo, Sept. 2012

I know, it is not an attractive fungus, let alone its awful smell. But it is a quite rare specimen in the Netherlands and it made my day when I found it. So I decided to share this appalling creature with you: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/mutinus_elegans.html

Peter I see in my book that we have this species here but I am not so sure I want to find one ! I do appreciate that it did make your day and it is most unusual :)

I once raised a plant (Stapelia Noblis - Hairy Giant Starfish Flower) that produced a star shaped flower that gave off a foul smelling odor that attracted only flies, no bees. (See attached link) I believe your odd smelling Dog Stinkhorn works in the same fashion. Interesting, the many ways that nature has found to reproduce itself. Wonderful find, great photo.
