These have to be the oddest looking in the mushroom world. They are in the family Phallaceae. Cali found this one on our morning walk. The top of the mushroom has a foul odor to attract flies, beetles, anything that will carry the spores away. I remember learning about these in Botany sitting next to my best friend. We thought they were quite hilarious, but then we thought everything was hilarious. Actually, I still think they are funny.
