Jungle Daily - The Veiled Lady

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

This is the beautiful Phallus indusiatus, also known as the Bamboo Fungus or long netted stinkhorn but I prefer one of its other common names The Veiled Lady. A close relative to this that grows the volcanic slopes in Hawaii looks identical apart from the head which is bright orange instead of the brown colour you see here. It is said that the fetid odour of the orange veiled lady causes spontaneous orgasms in women.

Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect but because we put our heart into what we do.

Wow no way that’s incredible, I thought you had put a net over it, it looks so cool.

I also much prefer the name ‘the veiled lady’ rather than ‘long nettled stinkhorn’ haha

Beautiful lady mushroom!!
She forgot sunglasses at home! The sunshine is too strong for this veiled lady!! Where has the umbrella man gone?! No bonus for him this month!!
