Strange looking ... plant?
Hi all,
I just discovered this strange looking plant/fungi in my garden. http://www.zip.com.au/~swm/images/weirdshit.jpg I have no idea what this is and have never seen anything like it before. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks in advance, Gavin |

You pervert. Shame on you for showing a picture of your dildo.

Can anyone shed any light? Thanks in advance, Gavin I have had these in my garden (Sydney Australia) recently after the rains. It would seem that it is some kind of stinkhorn fungus as another poster mentions - perhaps an Australian one, unless Gavin's location is a coincidence. The pics on mycology web pages are either white with a darker head or smooth red/pink with a darker head. This one with ribs running down a pink shaft seems to be rare as I cannot find it. Any mycologists out there? David |

Any mycologists out there? Hmm. Via google I found this page: http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0504.htm This is a lantern stinkhorn. The page says that it is found in southern California -- I wonder what it is doing in Balmain, Sydney, Australia? Thanks for your help David, Gavin |

You mangled it a bit digging it up. If it looks like a red to orange phallus sticking up out of the ground, it is the fruiting body of a fungus, like a mushroom. They are ugly but harmless. We sometimes get them in the mulch in damp years. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train."

Gavin, don't you have schools in Australia? Did you attend regularly? It
should be obvious that what we see in your picture is a thing. Some sort of a thing. :-) |

"..............Gavin, don't you have schools in Australia? Did you attend

Every one knows that it is a "Whatyou'macallit " or in the North of England a "Whatsit" or a "Thingy" Really depends on the leaf colour, and growing habit. We have a Whatyou'macallit that got to over 30 ft growing up through a Leylandii. |
