Clathrus ruber Mich.: Pers. Syn. Clathrus cancellatus. Basket Stinkhorn. Fruit body egg shaped, white to greyish at first then the volva bursting open to show a orange-red lattice, 10 x 6cm. spongy and rather brittle in texture, the greenish black spore baring material is on the inside of the lattice, odour, strong, fetid, attractive to flies. The mycelium commonly forms into ‘rooting’ rhizomorphs. Spores 4.5 –5.5 x x2-2.5um olive-brown. Habitat gardens and rubbish heaps. Throughout Europe, rare in the north, reported and seemingly becoming more common in north America. Not edible. The two latest images were sent to me by Sheri from South Florida USA. The one just breaking out of the 'egg@ came from Ronnie Plews in France. |
