Mystery Object found in Garden - What is it ?

[Melonfish]

Aye looks like a stinkhorn, should have left it to grow, you would have had a small phallus in your garden. talking point of all the neighbours.
you can point out how it attracts flies

i keep wishing to find liberty cap growing in my garden (Psilocybe Semilanceata) but the best i can make do is some agaricus campestris just accross the way from my house (field mushrooms)
they're fantastic with bacon, chilli and melted cheese
i'd love to see some Amanita Agaricus on the field in front of my house mind, (fly agaric) they looks wicked.

I don't live anywhere near Kew.

You'd have to "kew up", anyway

It did, that's the great thing about this forum; there are plenty of providers of info - some of which is even useful.

Not sure you'd get far with Kew - no money in it for them. I generally come here for advice regardless of the topic - I can usually understand what people are saying, unlike on the specific geeky sites, where people assume a base level of knowledge that's way over my head.

Oh, and I'm extremely disappointed that no one has posted the obligatory Phallus impudicus picture:

Call that a Phallus impudicus?

Now that's a Phallus impudicus!

It's a Fly Agaric that won the best young rider competition...
