Hi Larry,

   I found one of these when I had to make a large collection of fungi for my mycology class. The common name is the lantern stinkhorn (Lysurus mokusin). The brown distal end when turning brown is basically a mass of spores. When mature these spores put off a smell resembling dog feces to attract blow and flesh flies for spore dispersal. What a great find! :laugh:

Jason!  I think you nailed it!  This thing STINKS!

And, my wife told me that yesterday she saw a huge mass of tiny flies around it.

Suffice it to say that I dug this thing out!

Don't eat a mushroom, unless you are a pro

'cause you never know

if the shroom you grew will make you

a candidate
