STINKHORN
Mutinus elegans
These distinctive mushrooms have a single, unbranched, erect stalk, sometimes gaudily colored, leading to Linnaeus aptly placing them in a genus he called Phallus . The stalk is slimy, especially toward the tip, where the spores are concentrated. The mushroom spreads its spores, which are present in the slime, by attracting flies and other creatures that like decaying flesh. The slime sticks to the insects, which then transport the spores.
Hee. You said Phallus.
