Field Notes

Description:

It was gelatinous-looking, semitransparent on top. In the last pic I have removed it from the ground a moment, to show its bottom part.

Although I could not see it progress later on, it is most likely a growing Phallus impudicus, based on the species most commonly found in these woods.

Habitat:

Meerdaalwoud, St Joris Weert.

Reference Links:

Phallus impudicus, Stinkhorn fungus

Hi Marta, it looks similar to a Stinkhorn egg that's just 'hatching'
