phallic fungus--i'm going completely off men

The stinkhorns probably take the prize for most phallic mushroom family, which is probably why the family is called "phallaceae". This one is a "dog stinkhorn" photographed in Illinois; there's a very similar one called the "devil's dipstick" which is just a little thinner. There can be quite a bit of variation in color - sometimes the dog stinkhorns are very pale white with just a bit of pink near the tip.
