This mushroom was growing in the wood chips under a citrus tree.

No idea what it is called

Definitely not from America. Something south East Asian.

I have seen them in the U.K so I would guess you might have them in the US too.

The porn of fungi 🍄

Yeah the top looks a bit like a japsai 😂

You’re in the land down under yes?

I think the weirdest, coolest looking shroom I’ve ever seen.

Phallus duplicatus

Or bridal veil stinkhorn!

It looks pretty damn close except mine is very colourful.

I don't know how you do this man. 😂

Looks like a morrel. But weird looking specimen

Bridal veil stinkhorn?

This is my immediate guess too.

It looks to be it.

Yeah the smell attracts flies that spread the spores around and nature has a sense of humour too 😄

Another colour now and the flies are loving it (lots of small ones)

Uncompressed.

Late to the party:

Yellow Netted Stinkhorn. I wouldn't eat it in this stadium because of the stink, but they are a treat in the early stadium. Often called "devil's eggs". Usually they grow in multiples. If you go into the earth under it you'll probably find a mycelial cord that runs to others. If you come across some that still look like an egg, these are edible.

I've seen quite a few since in a few places since.

I'd much prefer it was a wine cap.

How does it smell?

I couldn't smell it but didn't really try to.

My guess is quite putrid to attract the flies.

There's a couple more close to fruiting nearby. I'll make sure to give them a sniff for you tomorrow.

😆 I'll zap to that, ha ha.

Arn't stinkhorns very very valuable to certain cultures?

No idea
