Phallaceae Colus pusillusBasidiomycetes (Puffballs and others)We found two of these today. They are a fungus which emerges from an egg like jelly substance. You can see it at the base of the 'fingers'. The fungi is found in sand and is a decomposer. Often smells like rotting flesh or faeces to attract flies that spread the spores.

The Phallaceae are a family of fungi, commonly known as stinkhorn mushrooms. Belonging to the fungal order Phallales, the Phallaceae have a worldwide distribution, but are especially prevalent in tropical regions. They are known for their foul smelling sticky spore masses, or gleba, borne on the end of stalks called the receptaculum. The characteristic fruiting body structurea single, unbranched receptaculum with an externally attached gleba on the upper partdistinguish the Phallaceae from other families in the Phalalles. The spore mass typically smells of carrion or dung, and attracts flies and other insects to help disperse the spores. Fm...Wikipedia
