Gloeophyllum oderatum (Wulf.: Fr.) Imazeki syn. Osmoporus odoratus (Fr.) Sing. Szagostapló (tapló). A bracket found on dead spruce (Picea) and other conifer wood, often on the cut surface of felled trees or stumps. 5-20cm across often projecting as much as 10cm, when young a mixture of yellow and brown, older dull deer brown then eventually blackish. Perennial, last year’s fruit bodies may still be apparent. Pores 1-2 per mm. Corky and tough, smell like fennel, taste bitter to mild. Spores 7.5-9.5x3-4um. Common in spruce woods, easily recognised by the distinctive smell (source R. Phillips).

Phallus impudicus Pers. syn. Ithyphallus impudicus (L.) Fr. Gemeine Stinkmorchel Phallus Impudique, Satyre puant, Oeuf du diable, Stinkhorn. Fruit body initially semi-submerged and covered by leaf-litter, egg-like, 3–6cm across, attached to substrate by a cord-like mycelial strand. The outer wall of the egg is white to pinkish but there is a thick gelatinous middle layer held between the membranous inner and outer layers. The egg is soon ruptured, as the white hollow stalk-like receptacle extends to 10–25cm high, the pendulous, bell-shaped head is covered by a meshwork of raised ribs covered in dark olive slime which contains the spores. This slime has a strong sickly offensive smell which attracts flies from large distances, the slime sticks to the legs of the flies and thus acts as a means of spore dispersal which takes place very rapidly, exposing the underlying mesh of the cap. Spores pale yellow.
