Lysurus mokusin , sometimes called orange-red or angular-stemmed finger mushroomin German-speaking countries , is a type of mushroom from the family of stinkhorn relatives (Phallaceae).
features
Macroscopic features
As with all representatives of the Phallaceae , the fruiting bodies initially appear in the form of a so-called " witch's egg ". When ripe, this opens at the top and releases the receptacle . The receptaculum is 6–16 cm high and consists of a stem which divides into 4–6 arms at the top. These arms usually remain connected at their tips, are 0.8–3 cm long, thick, pink to reddish-orange in color, and curve to form a lantern-shaped structure. The stem is 0.5-2 cm wide, composed of several tubes in cross section, angular and has vertical ribs, which correspond to the number of arms. The stem is pink to rose-red at the top and rises from a white volva at the bottom as a remnant of the "witch's egg". Specimens with a completely white receptacle are also rare.
The meat is fragile, has small chambers and is white to pink in color.
The spore mass ( gleba ) covers the vertical indentations between the arms. It is slimy, light brown to olive brown, becomes darker when drying and has the typical, unpleasant stinkhorn smell.

Microscopic features
The spores are 3.5–4.5 × 1.5–2 µ in size, elongated, smooth and almost hyaline.
distribution
Lysurus mokusin probably comes from China ( Fujian ), Korea , Japan (including Ogasawara-guntō ) and Australasia . The species was likely introduced to the Canary Islands , Europe (Italy), and the United States ( Chesapeake Bay area , Kansas , California , Texas, and Washington, DC ).
ecology
Lysurus mokusin is a saprobiont that appears singly or in small groups on lawns , in gardens and on firm ground. In Australia, it occurs in the leaves of forests, on wood chips and compost. The species is also known from greenhouses .
Similar species
Lysurus cruciatus is similar but has a round, not angular stem. The arms also usually separate from each other.
meaning
Lysurus mokusin is considered inedible.
