Found Fungi: Mutinus caninus

So, I forgot to take lunch to work today and decided to go for a walk to pass the time. And what do you know, I found some stinkhorns! Even though they were mostly flaccid when I came across them, it wasn't hard to determine they were Mutinus caninus.
Flaccid Fungal Forest

Phallaceae and Acorn Caps


It's called a stinkhorn for a reason.
I especially love the last picture, you can really see those flies going to town on the spore slime.
