Clathrus archeri
There was only one that i could see on the hill, and it is a tiny bit bigger than my hand! (which is pretty big for a girl!). Oh and it smelt like dead animals!
That's a beautifull fungus!
Join my mission and help my company to map all the mushrooms!

well get to the alps in france :) its there I promise haha!! I dont know if it was imported or was there before but it is definately a strange fungi to be in Europe.
I've been looking for 35 years for a stinkhorn & never seen one. Good going! What a weird thing to import, though. Fungi are pretty secretive; are we sure it wasn't there all the time?
That makes me happy Peter :) thank you! :) and thank you for more info on the stinkhorn, we really do get a new 'lesson of life' with every spotting! :D xx
Nice stuff... With every spotting here on Project Noah... we get lesson of Life..!!
Spotting of the day!
"The Octopus Stinkhorn erupts from an underground egg forming elongated slender arms and has a foul-smelling slime covering part of it's fruiting body."

Hahaha I thought it was an ocean animal i'm like (Wow that is a weird Starfish)
I still can't believe that is a plant!
P.S Nice Photo's
Very cool! Never seen anything like it. It's an introduced species in Europe and N. America being native to Australia and Tasmania.
