Also known as the Latticed Stinkhorn or the Basket Stinkhorn, the Red Cage Fungus is a fascinating mushroom shaped somewhat like a round or oval hollow sphere with interlaced or latticed branches. The fungus is saprobic (meaning it feeds on decaying woody plant material) and is usually found alone or in groups in leaf litter on garden soil, grassy places, or garden mulches.
