The Fungi World (208) : Stinkhorn
The Stinkhorn, with its typical phallic shape when mature, has a strong and very unpleasant odour, but despite its foul smell, it’s not poisonous.
This fungus emerges from an ‘egg’ beneath the surface and the body grows extremely rapidly from the egg, taking just 1 and a half hour to reach full size with a length up to 20cm. high !
In the Middle Ages, sap from the Stinkhorn was used as a love potion.......
Dutch name : Grote Stinkzwam
German name : Stinkmorchel
Latin name : Phallus impudicus

I will keep my thoughts to myself here, Mark .... your capture is excellent, sharp, well lit - and beautiful with the surrounding colourful autumn trees and leaves ... well, only in Latin does his shape and smell get recognition :-))greetings, Adele

Ein stattliches Exemplar und sein "Duft" hat auch schon einen Besucher angelockt! Du zeigst diesen Pilz wieder in einer wunderbar gelungenen Perspektive und die Farben sidn hier sehr harmonisch - gefällt mir gut, diese Aufnahme!
