Originally from Australia/New Zealand and imported to Europe, can be found here quite often. The smell is absolutely horrible.

Incredibly hateful looking mushroom. Visceral. Fascinating.

Take a look at some pictures online, this one is already quite old and not as spectacular anymore. Also they hatch out of eggs for some extra creepyness.

Nothing some salt and pepper can't fix.

Haha true, it's actually edible apparently. But you are supposed to wash of the brown stuff that looks and smells like zombie diarrhea.

Instead of eating hot chillis people should eat ever increasing levels of zombie diarrhea.

And I bet they'd start to love it over time.

Interesting, I’m from NZ but never seen one (I’m not an enthusiast though).

What an amazing find! Looks like the birth of something Lovecraftian

What,

And I cannot stress this enough,

the fuck.

[–] d3m0nr4v3r@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I absolutely agree. Look at some more pictures, this one is harmless :D and it has this brown slime that smells absolutely atrocious.

Found one in France last year, very fascinating!
