The dune stinkhorn ( Phallus hadriani ) is a type of mushroom from the family of stinkhorn relatives (Phallaceae).
features
When young, the dune stinkhorn forms a spherical to egg-shaped 3–7 cm wide witch's egg that initially sits in the ground, but is lifted out as it grows. In the air, its peridia quickly turns from white to pink to purple, which distinguishes it from the common stinkhorn , whose witchy egg remains white to pale ocher in the air. The receptaculum (the stalk of the fruiting body) becomes 10–20 cm long and 2–3 cm wide, it is white and hollow. At the end of the receptacle there is a hat with the dark green to olive colored gleba on the outside . The disc at the top of the cap has a serrated edge. The dune stinkhorn gives off a strong odor, but, unlike the common stinkhorn, does not smell of carrion.
ecology
The dune stinkhorn grows on dry sandy grassland, in bushes and sparse pine forests on calcareous drifting sands, where it evidently lives in a saprobion-like manner . It can also occur inconsistently on sandy soils in gardens, fields and vineyards. The fruiting bodies appear in Central Europe from July to December.
distribution
The dune stinkhorn occurs from Europe to Central Asia and North America. In Europe, its distribution area extends from the Mediterranean to Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia, where it grows in coastal dunes. In addition, it occurs from south-eastern Europe to Hungary, Central Bohemia and the Upper Rhine Plain in sandy steppes of dry and warm areas. In Germany the species is rare, in Switzerland it occurs only sporadically after Breitenbach and Kränzlin and is probably introduced here. Phallus hadriani was introduced in Australia .
meaning
The dune stinkhorn is not an edible mushroom. Young, immature fruit bodies ("witch's egg") are probably edible. However, due to their rarity, they should be spared.
