Calostoma ravenelii is a unique and beautiful species of fungus commonly called the "stinkhorn fungus" or "Devil's parchment." This unique fungus can be identified by its bright orange-red fruit body, which emits a strong odor that attracts flies to disperse its spores. Other synonyms for Calostoma ravenelii include "Basket Stinkhorn," "Stalked Puffball," and "Red Crain." Calostoma ravenelii can often be found growing in woodland areas and is typically seen in the late summer through early fall months. It is a fascinating fungus to observe but should not be consumed as it is poisonous.
