Yea it's the first of my big plants I've taken down 15 of my small bubbas and that netted me just over 4 pounds. Slightly less than I was hoping for but well within the estimated range. I'm hoping this is 4-5 pounds of casey. I was thinking of starting to pull the craven / og plants on weds but I may hold out until next friday and see if they pack anymore on. I'll be nice once they're down I can remove the tarp and put the big rom back to rights lol. The roms and the agent orange is probably going to ride out the month.

I believe they are called Stinkhorns. Size: 2 -4 in. tall. What to look for: pink to red, foamy-looking stalk, tip tapered, with olive-green slime. remnants of oval 'egg' at base. Habitat: singly or in clusters on soil, humus, wood-chip mulch, or woody debris.

Stinkhorns Phallaceae

An egg-shaped case resembling a puffball encloses the young Stinkhorn. As the 'egg' matures, the Stinkhorn swells with water and lengthens rapidly- withing the span of a few hours. The top of the mature Stinkhorn is covered with a foul-smelling, spore-containing slime. Flies and beetles attracted to this transport Stinkhorn spores to new areas.

I found this info in my North American Wildlife book.

you can see in the middle 'egg' where it is starting to 'hatch'
