Re: Fungus. . .

Hi Al: Thanks for sending that site. And yes, I suspected both these 
fungi were members of the Phallales family; odor,fly attraction and 
emerging from an "egg" were give aways - BUT, I couldn't find 
pictures of either one. The one I submitted (chicken foot!)is truly 
unique! I'm going to contact the owner of the site you sent and see 
what I can learn. Thank you again!
