Stinkhorns, basidiomycete order Phallales

These are distinctive fungi whose spore masses are borne in pits or on the tip of a 2-10cm tall stem in a smelly slime that is attractive to flies. Stinkhorns develop within an egg-like structure until the spores are fully mature, like the related groups puffballs and earth stars.
