Talk:Phallaceae

Right, so I guess this is not going to mention anything about what it looks like and what its classification was derived from. AllStarZ 03:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How to control stinkhorns

Now that we know what they are, how do we prevent or minimize their appearance in mulchbeds around the house? They are really offensive and disgusting. REALLY!

Edibility of Phallus impudicus

It is possible to eat and enjoy part of a stinkhorn 'egg' (Phallus impudicus). The structure of the egg can be seen from the photo of a cut stinkhorn egg.

On the outside is the brown/green gelatinous layer which later stinks and attracts the flies; inside this layer is a green layer which will become the 'head' of the expanded fruit body; and inside this is a white structure (the stalk when expanded) , which is hard, but with an airy structure like a sponge. Pieces of this inner layer can be cut out with a knife and eaten. They are crisp and crunchy with an attractive radishy taste. Admittedly this is more like a party trick than a useful dietary element.

Stinkhorn's erupting web?

No one in the world notices the web or net that comes out of the web. What is that web? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.207.84 (talk) 06:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
