Blumenavia is a genus of fungus from the family of Stinkhorn relatives ( Phallaceae ).
features
Initially, the species of the genus Blumenavia appear in the form of a pale brown to dark gray witch's egg . When ripe, the witch's egg opens and the light orange to whitish receptacle , which is composed of three to five flat columns, stretches out. These pillars are free at the base where they lie in the volva , but fused into an arch at the top of the fruiting body (similar to a pillared hall ). The inner surfaces of the columns are covered by special spore slime structures, the so-called "glebifers". These are in turn covered by the foul-smelling gleba , which, as with all stinkhorn-like , attracts the spore-eating insects .
distribution
The genus Blumenavia includes three species that are native to South America and Africa . Blumenavia rhacodes and Blumenavia tribiotalpaensis are common in Mexico , the Caribbean Islands and South America. Blumenavia angolensis could also be found in Africa in addition to the areas already mentioned. In Texas the species was introduced through the transport of exotic plants.
