‘Eggs’ (white) and fertile portions (pink) of\u00a0Mutinus ravenelii<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A dried fungus reached me in rather round-about fashion, from \u201csomebody in the Market building.\u201d From its appearance I judged it was an uncommon species, so I sent it to the Dominion Botanist for naming. By return mail I got this reply: \u201cThe specimen you sent for identification, is, as you suggested, one of the phalloids, Mutinus Ravenelli (B.& C.) E. Fisher. There is no common name as far as I know except \u201cStinkhorn,\u201d which is generally applied to the group as a whole and not to any particular species. Yours truly, J. Walton Groves, Plant Pathologist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stinkhorn (Mutinus ravenelii<\/em><\/a>) in\u00a0Portage, MI<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have entered this find in my records. As the phalloid fungi require extremely good soil and special circumstances for growing, they are naturally scarce. The only other specimen I have in my records I found at Mount Herbert on July 7th, 1922: It was Mutinus elegans, and was growing near a hen-house where the soil was \u201crich.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the group resemble a horn shape, and as the tip is covered with an extremely evil-smelling gluey substance, the country folk in Britain named the group \u201cStinkhorns.\u201d The smell attracts flies which afterward carry the spores (roughly, seeds) of the fungus locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
