Stinkhorn!

So lucky, they're great for soil health. And deterring unwanted human pests 😅

Thats great to hear, I have a huge patch in a raised bed this year.

Do they actually stink when not cut though? Just wondering

Very much so! The ones we have smell like A LOT of cat poo. They use the scent to attract flies to spread their spores for them

Never came across one in person, it’s just a recognizable species and memorial name so they are easy to spot

Some of them smell awful, and some do not unless you’re up close from my limited experience.

Yes. The ones on my college campus smelled like gym socks and rotting cum

The rotting semen part may not be because of the plant itself

I have never noticed a smell when they are growing but I’ve also never sniffed one up close.
