They are really cool, I saw one in the wild in southern Germany last fall
I also found some last fall!
Gah. Looks like forest floor rotting star fish.
It sure smelled like that. (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
Appropriate name.
Omg if I came across that while hiking in the woods without knowing what it was, I would probably hightail it out of there, all the while looking back to make sure it wasn't following me.
Don't worry, they have no sight or hearing. They can only sense fear.
How did you not run away screaming? Is this fungus common knowledge? I've never seen it and I am happy to have read this post before stumbling on this another dimension opening strawberry-red nightmare
xD I read a lot of books about nature when I was a kid and therefore knew of this fungus for some time. I always wanted to see this one, too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrus_ruber
As it has no tentacles I can see the beauty in this one, too. But I am really confused about how unreal those fungi look.
That's so many! Thank you for the cool picture 😄
Thanks for the pics! WILD!
This makes it seem so harmless.
