Encyclopedic overview
Mutinus caninus, commonly known as the dog stinkhorn, is a small thin, phallus-shaped woodland fungus, with a dark tip. It is often found growing in small groups on wood debris or in leaf litter during summer and autumn in Eurasia and eastern North America. It is not generally considered edible, but there are reports of the immature 'eggs' being consumed.
