features

Macroscopic features

The 15 to 25 mm diameter Hexenei is spherical colored to obovate (obovoid) and yellowish white to brownish white. The cylindrical, unpigmented, spongy receptaculum reaches a length of 100 to 150 mm and a diameter of 10 to 30 mm. The hat (the little cap) is bell-shaped, has a net-like honeycomb structure through folds on the surface and perforated at the top. The gleba is brown, slimy, and smelly. The reticulated indusium , hanging from the underside of the hat, is well developed, white to pale yellow and reaches a length of about 3/4 the length of the receptaculum.

Microscopic properties

The elliptical spores are smooth, colorless and 2.5 to 4 μm long and 1 to 2 μm wide.

Occurrence

The species Phallus indusiatus is found in the tropics , including Africa ( Congo , Nigeria , Uganda, and Zaire ), South America ( Brazil, Guyana , and Venezuela ), Central America ( Costa Rica ), and Tobago . In North America it is only found in Mexico . Asian locations are Indonesia , Malaysia , India , southern China , Japan and Taiwan . It was also found in Australia .
