Thought Id share this pic of my find today-Which Im calling a Star Stinkhorn(Aseroe rubra)-Looks like the ends are splitting unlike the Red Stinkhorn(Clathrus archeri)thats ends remain intact
 They dont call this a stinkhorn for nothing. This one absolutely reeked of S**t!!

Or could it be Clathrus archeri - Octopus Stinkhorn? Maybe depends on your location?
Don't lean over it!

Ah, turns out Clathrus archeri is native to Australia and New Zealand, but can be found in Santa Cruz County (where I live). So yeah, you are probably right. Very cool (like Pepe Le Pew).

I hate stinkhorns, they look like scary aliens, and they smell like sewage shit/rotting corpses.
They look horrible, and they smell horrible. Nothing good about them. Disgusting organisms honestly, nature got some fucked up shit ngl.
They sometimes fruit next to the psilocybes that I harvest, I have to put my shirt over my nose when I have to harvest psilocybes fruiting in close proximity to stinkhorns..
Can't be breathing in or getting a breathe of air up the nose around those things, they are fucking rancid. I'm not a fan of stinkhorns.

They stink, but are beautiful, like some girls I've met.

No. They are not beautiful.
To say a stinkhorn is beautiful, is like saying a maggot is beautiful, or a roach is beautiful, or a mosquito is beautiful.
Some creatures on Earth are horrific.

I absolutely agree with Doc - they are beautiful. I HATE mosquitoes, but see the beauty in them. They are superior results of Natural Selection. Wallace and Darwin stumbled upon this... I can only imagine the illumination.

You could not tell me that stinkhorns are beautiful.
Especially when you have seen/smelled as many as I have while harvesting the desirable psilocybes that often grow alongside.
Not fun for my ass when I have to work around stinkhorns, the scent of them actually is extremely offensive to me.
My least favorite fungi for sure.

It's all a matter of opinion of course, but I think stinkhorns can be beautiful - if you ignore the smell. They have some of the most interesting forms and colors of any mushrooms imo.

Guess that's the difference between you and I (and I love ya, man!) As a kid, wading thru muck and mud (stinky shit) in order to capture a really cool leopard frog was just part of the joy. I dunno, does that make sense?

Those that observe pictures on the internet are like OMG so cool.
Me IRL walking through landscape woodchip gardens looking for psilocybes is not a fan of them.
They smell like actual carnivore shit, and their sticky spore goo attracts flys to spread the spores.
When you smell like shit, and flys (adult maggots) are responsible for spreading your spores, you know you are a fucked up creature.

I think they are beautiful as well but all nature is beautiful to me...I'm a dog whisperer and if smell defined beauty I would dislike the hell out of dogs...
Also I've seen them lots of times secreting feces and I wonder if the shit would make for good fertilizer

So true! Dogs to me can smell like sour socks... but I fuckin love them. WE created them - thru artificial selection - and it's our responsibility to care for them. Wait, what does this have to do with mushrooms??

Thank you, that's exactly what I was talking about.
Edit: I have found many Lepista nuda in a compost pile at veterinarian clinic

My wife and I use our vegetable compost for potted plants. Trouble is the compost is filled with soldier fly larva, which attracts the jays, and then we have a real mess, but I just find it all amusing. Soldier flies, Hermetia illucens, in larval form contain so much protein that they're bred for farmed fish food. It's all good and natural!
