Found one of these today (On one side of my house), in the same exact place I found one a few years back.

What are the names of the red cage fungus?

This fungus has an assortment of names; the Red Cage, Latticed Stinkhorn and Basket Stinkhorn. In some parts of Europe its name translates to Witch's Heart. In France it's called Coeur de Sorcière, Sorceror's Heart. All very mystical! Aside from the Stinkhorn stuff. The Red Cage is indeed in the Stinkhorn family. It stinks. Mainly of rot and death.



This picture is from the Web, the one I found today was BRIGHT RED, I just cannot download the pict here, too bad.

Have you EVER run into one ? ?

They probably hate the STENCH and the Flies all over the nasty mushroom, if we can call it that . . .
