Rare mushrooms found at Punggol 17th Ave

STOMPer Wong S Y was fascinated to find what seemed to be rare mushrooms on a grass patch at Punggol 17th Avenue.

He said:

"Rare mushrooms found growing on the grass patch at Punggol 17th Ave.

"We always see wild mushrooms growing on rotten wood or grass patches.

"Have you seen these type of mushrooms before?

"Just find these interesting and wanted to share the photos of these beautiful mushrooms."

Oops ... in the last para below, I meant that the lookalike, Phallus indusiatus has a LONGER "skirt", which is also often flared due to its length & weight.

Some stinkhorn fungi are edible. For instance, the dried "skirts" of Phallus indusiatus is commercially cultivated in China & sold as "Bamboo Fungus".

Thanks for sharing your sighting. They appear to be Phallus merulinus (Veiled/ Netted Stinkhorn). Did you notice that they emit a bad smell ?

I saw a community of these growing on compost at S'pore Botanic Gardens back in Oct 2008. There were lots of red-eyed Drosophila (fruit flies) & ants congregating on the fungi. Some photos: http://goo.gl/9G2Uq , http://goo.gl/kd7mv

A lookalike would be Phallus indusiatus (syn. Dictyophora indusiata), which has a shorter "skirt" & distinct reticulations on its cap. Pic of SG sighting: http://www.eart-h.com/text/fungi17.htm
