see 6+cm ruler for scale - Phallus indusiatus complex volva and stem transect
Check out this minimalist stem structure of this member of the Phallus indusiatus complex. Also visible is the volva that seems dull orange - brownish. This might be a still undescribed species close to Ph. indusiatus, that was originally described in Suriname, but has a white veil and volva. This stinkhorn has a pale yellow veil when unfolding that seems white with maturity and also adarkish volva. - Phlebopus beniensis seen in Yopal

- Bresadolia paradoxa growing in Yopal. When it was still known as Polyporus udus I really enjoyed eating it in the Bolivian Amazon. However, specimen was slightly bitter after we fried it.
Bresadolia paradoxa was described from the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Bresadolia uda, first described as Polyporus udus is native in SE Asia. - Agaricus sp. in the A. xanthoderma group, with a strong phenolic odor and yellow staining stem base seen in Yopal. Should be slightly toxic.
