| Dictyophora duplicata & Phallus ravenelii |
| This is a 3 day, 5 hour time lapse movie of the stinkhorn mushrooms Dictyophora duplicata (left) and Phallus ravenelii (right) growing and senescing. Towards the end of the movie, note the fly that is attracted to the fetid carrionlike odor of the stinkhorns. It'll pick up sticky spores on it's tarsi and spread them to new locales. Images were taken at 5 minute intervals.
The less-than-straight growth of the stickhorns is the results of digging them up from the mulch where they were growing to move them to the photo studio. |
