no idea what that cool fungus should be - Phallus indusiatus seen at night in Mani
The veil of this stinkhorn has dropped in the upper part, but not expanded in the lower part. Surprising how yellow the veil tissue is here before unfolding. - 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. - Phallus indusiatus seen in Mani, Casanare
Interesting to see how the veil irregularly unfolds in the left specimen. - Xylaria row in Mani
