User's notes

Growing in euc chip maybe 10yo and topped up 2-3 years ago. I teased the net out with a stick and found more coiled in a subsurface cup filled with an olive-grey soup (presume spores) - heavy showers the night before. I've never seen this sort before!

It's not the commonest stinkhorn in Canberra, but it has turned up in a number of suburbs, from north to south.
