Dictyophora Indusiata ( Phallus indusiatus )

Dictyophora Indusiata

Dictyophora indusiata comes froma family of mushrooms called "Phallus." You'll never guess why. Despite the unseemly name, though, Phallus mushrooms are widely eaten in East Asia.


Phallus indusiatus, commonly called the bamboo mushrooms, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn or veiled lady, is a fungus in the family Phallaceae, or stinkhorns. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical areas, and is found in southern Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia, where it grows in woodlands and gardens in rich soil and well-rotted woody material.
