What is another word for white slime mushroom?
Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪt slˈa͡ɪm mˈʌʃɹuːm] (IPA) 
The "white slime mushroom" is also referred to as the "yellow-staining mushroom" due to the yellowish tint that develops in the cap and stem when bruised or cut. Another synonym for this species is the "netted stinkhorn," which describes the small, net-like pattern on the cap that resembles a spiderweb. Some people also call it the "dog stinkhorn" or "dog vomit fungus" because of its unpleasant odor and appearance. The scientific name for this fungus is "Dictyophora indusiata," which translates to "the netted veil mushroom." Despite its unappealing nicknames, this mushroom serves an ecological purpose in breaking down dead plant material and providing a food source for insects and other wildlife.
