The Fungi World (131) : Dog Stinkhorn

One for the ladies……. :-))

The Dog Stinkhorn is a phallus-shaped woodland fungus that emerges from an off-white egg-like fruiting body that lies half buried in leaf litter on the forest floor.

When the ‘egg’ splits open, the fungus expands rapidly (usually within a few hours) to its full height of 10–12 cm.

Dutch name : Kleine Stinkzwam
German name : Gemeine Hundsrute
Latin name : Mutinus caninus

Here you can see a picture of his big brother, the common Stinkhorn
