Fungi Friday - The Gross Egg
Here's a gross egg for this #fungifriday by @ewkaw
The egg above eventually forms into this mushroom. The latin name is phallus impudicus, which translates to foul penis lol. They smell pretty bad since their common name is stinkhorn.
They look nasty as well. People often get allergies from the spores and they can overtake mulch landscaping.
Here are some baby pear shaped puffball mushrooms just starting to grow.
Eventually they will look like this. These are a nice edible mushroom I like to cook them in oil and spices with potatoes.
Here's a green mushroom i found a few weeks ago. The latin name is Russula virescens and it is edible.
Here is what it looks like two weeks later lol. It turned black and the slugs are munching.
Its a good idea to keep an eye on how edible mushrooms decay just in case you see one. Now if i see this i can go back to the same area next year a bit earlier and hopefully find lots of harvestable mushrooms.
Happy #fungifriday beware the phallus impudicus lol

Sometimes the eggs look like puffball mushrooms just starting out but then it turns out they are a gross stinkhorn lol.

We have a stinkhorn problem here. When I first moved in I thought there was a dead animal rotting in the woods. Now it doesn't even phase me

Such an eye-opener for me with these mushrooms!
You found a good few yourself. Keep an eye out whenever it rains or even in dark shaded areas when it isnt raining.

I really liked the photos!
Especially a photo of a green mushroom, I see such a mushroom for the first time, it impressed me!
And its edible too. This is the first time i found one, hopefully next year more will be in the same area.

good luck!
Does this mushroom have something distinctive in taste?
It has a very mild taste, it still tastes like a mushroom. The more distinct aspect of it is the light crumbly texture. These are better parboiled, though in asia they are eaten raw, which is also rare for a mushroom. 99% of mushrooms have to be cooked.
