Include:

The basket is 15cm across and a member of the stinkhorn family Phallaceae, which includes some of the strangest fungi The basket fungus forms a small puffball-like "egg" under the soil. The "egg" has a two-layered wall, the outer one lined with jelly. Inside the wall is a mass of brown spores as well as the future basket, tightly folded up. The basket soaks up moisture and BURSTS out of the egg with such force that it sometimes breaks free and rolls across the ground. The spores on the inside of the net become a foul-smelling, olive-green sticky mess - a feast for flies! The sticky spores stick to the flies and get spread by the flies when they fly away. The baskets seldom last for more than a day.
