sceadugenga Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 This was found in my wife's orchard today, there was only one in the vicinity and none of the work crew had ever seen one before. It was about 30cm (12") across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) We have a few in Thai called Book? Smells like dead bodies and will attract a lot of flies. Believe it or not some people eat them but not in this stage. This flower and the smell will only last for a few days,the flower will dry up and shrink and the leaves and stem will start to grow. This is the family, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphophallus_titanum Edited May 15, 2021 by jvs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thanks for that, I thought it was a fungus but did not see it personally. Here's a better photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'm not convinced that it is a Titan Arum... looks more like a species of fungus. Does it stink? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
