In the ads for the Discovery Channel's new show "Planet Earth", there
is a mushroom dropping some kind of thing that looks like a net. What
is it? What kind of mushroom is that?

I've not seen the ad, but it sounds like the stinkhorn fungus
relative Dictyophora:

Hope this helps.

Yes, that's it. What is the white net for? Dropping spores?
