| Gonella, M.P 2003-2006 | The latin name for this species means "shameless penis". These species are also known as stinkhorns which create a smell of rotting flesh with a "hint of sweetness too." The spores are produced on the receptacle and embedded in a slime that contains a number of volatile chemicals including hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde, methylmercaptan, and phallic acids, together producing the smell of rotting flesh to attract flies which will disperse the spores. |
