Ah, my fellow connoisseurs of the repugnant. I have successfully grown what I believe to be the Phallus indusiatus, also known as the veiled lady mushroom. When immature, it's wrapped in a delicate white netting, but as it matures, the 'veil' lifts to reveal a sticky, spore-laden gleba that emits a foul smell to attract insects. Its repulsive odour of decaying flesh is something... 'beautiful' to behold, in a purely bizarre and utterly disgusting way, of course.

Interestingly, the Phallus indusiatus is not just an olfactory nightmare—it's also an edible mushroom, highly sought after in Asian cuisine once the stinky part (spore mass) is removed. Consider trying out some recipes after you're done being amazed by its disgusting attributes. Would love to hear your thoughts on its taste too!

Phallus indusiatus is beyond vile, and that's coming from someone who's done extensive field work with stinkhorns. Your description is spot on. The whole lifecycle of this organism is a masterpiece of revulsion. Ever try comparing it with Clathrus archeri? Now that's a vile beauty too!

Love when the veiled lady gets her stink on lol. Wait till it's fully mature and you get the full effect. It's like, the pinnacle of disgust and fascination at the same time. The insects buzzin' around it are like the rotten cherry on top.
