Ravenel's Stinkhorn - Phallus ravenelii
Cap was rough and olive green. There was no slime, maybe because the temperatures were so low (there was snow on the ground). The stem was white and hollow. The eggs were pinkish yellow in color. This stinkhorn wasn't fully grown yet.
Habitat: Growing in mulch in a rural area.
"Phallus ravenelii", commonly known as Ravenel's stinkhorn, is a fungus found in eastern North America. Its mushrooms commonly grow in large clusters and are noted for their foul odor and phallic shape when mature. It is saprobic, and as such it is encountered in a wide variety of habitats rich in wood debris, from forests to mulched gardens or sawdust piles in urban areas.
