I posted a couple of things recently (here and here) about some stinkhorn eggs I'd seen in my yard.
After a significant rain, I finally have some of them that have come to maturity. They are fruiting in a very clearly definable ring, under an elm bush.
They are a variant of the common Stinkhorn Phallus impudicus, but I have learned that the pinkish-purplish egg sac identifies them as a distinct species, Phallus hadriani.
Thing is, they don't stink. Not in the slightest. I can put my nose right up to them and breathe deeply, and they don't give off the faintest aroma.
The flies like them though.
