Crinoline Mushroom
(Dictyophora indusiata)

A showy species from the rainforest, this pale brown mushroom has a lacy veil which hangs down from the steeply sloped cap and reaches almost to the level of the soil. It smells awful but the flies don't mind.
Thanks.
That is a cool looking shroom - did you find it locally?

If Phil correctly identified the species - this mushroom is from the Rainforest and Rich lives in Chatown.... or maybe global warmer is more serious than I thought Tongue
Hmmmm - that WOULD explain the extreme drought down here, although Rich could be hanging around in the rainforest ~
