Phallus ravenelii
Stinky fungi growing in wood chips at a park. These had emerged, and many more "eggs" were pushing up out of the wood chips.
Wood chips at a playground. Beneath oak trees.
A large number of puffballs are emerging at this location too. Thanks to lynne.warren for posting her spotting of these funky fungi earlier: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/736....

My latest spotting of the early stages of Ravenel's stinkhorn: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/744.... Poor Ravenel, having a fungus like this named after him...
Cool!!
One form of mushroom that I need to see (or should I say smell) for myself in the future! Nice spotting Kristal. :)
