Devil's Fingers, Octopus Stinkhorn, Clathrus archeri (also, trypophobia cw)

This is Clathrus archeri, also known as the Octopus stinkhorn, or the Devil's Fingers. As with other stinkhorns, the spores are held within a sticky and foul-smelling substance called the gleba, which attracts flies, which then brings the spores elsewhere. This can be seen in the photos as the dark brown or black substance on the fingers.

Each fruiting body is about 8-15 cm long (hand for comparison in middle photo), and several may emerge bunched together, or separately. The fingers are very light and surprisingly fragile, and have the texture of wet styrofoam packaging pellets.

The fruiting body emerges from an egg-like growth, called the volva, the remnants of which can be seen at the base of the fingers. The last photo shows the immature fruiting body (or the primordium) soon to emerge from the volva. When mature, the fingers will swell with water from rain to many times their initial size and unfurl out of the ground.

Clathrus Candlesnuff

2-22 - Challenge - Original. We wanted to do Feefal's drawing challenge of Funguary for this month, and already behind, bahaha-- We chose two from first week's spooky shrooms to make this elk-esque beast leaving mushes in it's wake - clathrus ruber and candlesnuff. Candlesnuff very much reminds us of elk/moose antlers-- And clathrus ruber are just super neat-- Liked the idea of using colored paper again, and cut some shapes...~ Only we may use, do not steal.

Just a few hours before departing to Panama again but this image actually shows an Italian mushroom which until yesterday was a true “grail” to me. It took about four year to catch one fruiting! But in the end I was finally able to see a beautiful albeit “horror” styled Clathrus ruber. I like the Italian name of this one, “cuore di strega”, which means “witch’s heart”. It was already a bit passing away, but the general appearance was good enough to give me some nice shots. This fungus stinks like rotten meat and the area was full of flies which came to feed on the foul smelling blood-colored lattice in the internal part of the fruiting body. #mushroom #fungus #mycota #pickoftheday #horror #witch #heart #clathrus #macro #lifegoals @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ixzH7KNKA/?igshid=1mc6eaobcha4f
