Hello Major.

Nice example of a Stinkhorn.

Like the setting with the leaves and the out of focused back ground is just right to give some feel of its enviromet. I also think the angle of the Stinkhorn as also added to this.

Phallic or what, even the name, blimey that's what you call parallel evolution.
How big is it? :biggrin:

As said a bit sharp.

It lives up to its name as you well know Tim.(Smell not the size. Phallic indeed.)
The biggest problem though was not the smell but a dog off a lead. Whilst kneeling down and taking said picture a Alsatian type came full belt at me and made me jump out of my skin.
I was not amused and the women owner shot off without a sorry. :mad:
Bye the way Tim if youve got one like that your in serious trouble.:biggrin:
