a mutiny of Mutinus elegans

[capsnstems-blog]

I was so thrilled to see these phallic wonders! Mutinus elegans, or elegant stinkhorn — aka dog stinkhorn or the devil’s dipstick. 

Reminds me of an undersea tube worm, or, uh, other things.

Stinkhorns (Mutinus my money is on elegans) fruiting on a neighbor’s lawn.  I’ll say one thing about New Jersey, there are almost as many mushrooms here than in northern California.

Mutinus elegans. Single fruit body in leaf litter under oaks and mixed hardwood.  Odor detectable, but not overwhelming at all from behind camera.

Mutinus elegans; we note that the structure of the apex is not (regardless of the gleba presence) differentiated from the rest of the joint; photo by Federico Calledda.

Personal note: They resemble devil horns in pairs!
