Mutinus caninus. ...The Dog Stinkhorn is a fungus. Mutinus caninus. It's pink to red, foamy-looking stalk; tip tapered, with olive-green slime; remnants of oval "egg" at base. Found singly or in clusters on soil, humus, wood-chip mulch, or woody debris. The "egg-shaped" case resembling a puffball encloses the young stinkhorn. As the "egg" matures, the stinkhorn swells with water and lengthens rapidly - within the span of a few hours. The top of the mature stinkhorn is covered with a foul-smelling, spore-containing slime.
