User's notes

A very small stinkhorn to ~30mm tall with three arms joined at the apex, with the gleba on the inner surface of the arms. These erupt from a gelatinous egg usually in rotting wood. Over the years we have noted that this species together with Mutinus species, are usually the last to fruit before the final stages of the wood being completely washed back into the earth.
