Well, life is full of surprises. Yesterday my wife and I went to a local river to go check out a stinkhorn mushroom she saw on a school trip last Wednesday. We ended up finding more than that - a ginkgo tree FULL of Neofinetia falcata in full flower. The truth is she found the first plant - a small, budded plant that had fallen on the ground.
Here's a couple we saw. These were high up in the tree, so I had to use my video camera to get jpegs - hence the low quality of the shots.
And here's the mushroom, the octopus stinkhorn, Clathrus archeri, a native of Australia and Tasmania that has naturalized over much of the northern hemisphere. Taken with an SLR.
Here's the full article if you want to read more about the experience:
