What is this? Stinkhorn Earth Star Hybrid
    #15355917 - 11/11/11 02:13 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

I found this strange fungus growing on a slope next to a trail in Pennsylvania. I thought it was some kind of earth star until I noticed the weblike stalk. I took pictures from every angle, so that should be enough for a proper ID. Thanks in advance for your help :grin:

Better watch out for face huggers.

It's a Calostoma species, beautiful find.
Possibly Calostoma ravenelii.

Your welcome,

I'm pretty sure your species is C. lutescens, here is a link to my collection of C. rodwayi.

Yeah it is! And I only found out about it yesterday! C. cinnabarinum looks crazy, do you know what areas that it grows? I'd love it see that in person.
