features
At first, the phallus atrovolvatus appears as a 2–3 cm wide, black colored witch's egg with a rough surface. When ripe, the witch's egg opens and the cylindrical, white receptaculum stretches out, which is 1–2 cm wide and 2–4 cm long. At the upper end of the receptaculum there is a conical cap , which is covered by the yellow-brown colored gleba . A fragile, net-like structure (a so-called indusium ) hangs down from the underside of the cap . In contrast to other representatives of the stinkhorn-like species , the gleba of Phallus atrovolvatus does not have an unpleasant, carrion-like odor, but a pleasantly sweet scent.
