Witches Egg

Phallus impudicus

Description:

perhaps 6cm tall, it didn't smell very much or maybe at all, for a stinkhorn, even on the inside when I cut it in two. Covered in a layer of jelly-like stuff. This species is called the common stinkhorn and is edible when it's in the 'Witches egg' stage of it's development. I've never tried eating it.

Notes:

bb19a location hard to pinpoint and I've forgot where it was anyway
