Me and my boyfriend discovered this wild specimen completely on accident under some shrubs, in a very populated city park btw. I thought the rarer looking mushrooms only spawn in remote wooded areas. It's so beautiful I just wanna be a fairy living in that mushroom 🖤! Because it's so outlandish looking we could figure out what it's called pretty fast. Its a basket stinkhorn and it only stays this beautiful for about a day though! It had shrivelled up next morning when we came back to check on the area, but so many more of the same species had sprouted in its place in just a night.
So you never know what could spawn after it rains in your local park, get your camera/phone, go get your steps in, fill your lungs with after-rain air and be known as the bog hag that inspects dead wood, shrubs and foliage.
Happy hunting!
