This Clathrus species below seems to be a mystery. Some consider it to be a large Aseroe rubra others a Clathrus archer but nether seams to fit their descriptions well. It has become common around the Auckland region in the past 20 years with the popularity of using wood chip mulch. |

On occasions you come across odd coloured stinkhorn's generally these are ether yellow or orange rather then the usual red. I' am told this is the result of a mineral deficiency in the substrate yet I have never seen any research on this. |
