I found a pretty amazing mushroom outside my front gate! It's a Lysurus mokusin or Lantern Stinkhorn. It's in the family called 'Phallales' - hmmm - I wonder why it's called that?? :roll:
Apparently it's good to eat - flies like em anyway!

Nice one. There was a discussion of a related kind of stinkhorn a while back in this forum - see:

Nothing like a stinkhorn to brighten up the day. My myco friends in the U.S. will love this shot.
