Funguary Feb 25 - Cryptic Stinkhorn - Clathrus archeri
Clathrus archeri, var. Mari.Lwyd is a rare form of european stinkhorn commonly found in Wales. It can reach up to ninety centimeters in total height, from generative organ to the tips of it's tentacles.
The tentacles exude a syrupy liquid commonly understood to have beer-like properties, designed to attract various insects and mollusks that then become drunk, and die near the fungus. This ensures it has plenty of nutrients to eventually grow more fungal matter under the skull and lever it to the top.
Once exposed, the skull will weather and develop a cloak-like veil, enabling it to be used as the basis of a Mari Lwyd costume. However, if not given regular alcoholic application, the fungus will deliquesce and collapse.

This Wednesday it's time for "weeds" of the fungal variety - that is, some mushrooms growing where they don't belong! These very bizarre mushrooms are Clathrus archeri, commonly known as devil's fingers or octopus stinkhorn. They're often redder in color than these, which were somewhat washed out by rain. Like all stinkhorns, they smell terrible, in this case like rotting flesh. They like growing on rotting wood and love woodchips and mulch.
But why is devil's fingers a "weed" in this case? Because although C. archeri is native to southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, these were found growing in London! It's though that they were introduced to England during or slightly before the First World War. Although their preference for dead wood might make them seem innocuous (and indeed there are far worse invasives) they still compete with native stinkhorns and other fungi that would probably prefer not to be fighting over woodchips!
The edibility of devil's fingers isn't known, but it's unlikely anyone would want to try them anyway. Their rotting flesh smell is enough to make anyone feel ill. They're definitely in the "do not eat" category!

Devil's Fingers, Octopus Stinkhorn, Clathrus archeri (also, trypophobia cw)
Aotearoa, photo credit to me
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.

[Day 17 & 18 - Clathrus Archeri & Amanita Galactica] 🍄
These duo were known to be inseparable where they always do things together, including joining the underworld. As of late, Galactica seems harboring a feeling. Maybe more than that...
