Something was rotten at Udon police station - and it smelled real bad

UDON THANI: -- Something stank at Udon Provincial police station.

 

In fact it was so bad and went on for so long that the cops thought something like a rat or a dog had died.

 

It certainly smelled like a dead body was wafting its fetid stench throughout the station.

 

So what could the police do but mount an investigation of course.

 

And soon the culprit was found not under the floorboards but in the garden.

 

It came in the shape of 20 foul smelling mushrooms from the stinkhorn family that are called "het pla meuk" or squid mushrooms in Thai.

 

Commonly know in English as "Stinky Squid" the plants emit a foul odor that attracts flies for pollination.

 

Kapook said that these kinds of fungi were often found in Europe but rarely in Thailand.

 

Kapook said that despite the foul odor they are still edible as they contain no poison.

Ah, OK, and i thought the OP was referring to different rotten and smelling bad

issues in any police station and that don't come from a stanch of a mushroom...

I had stinkhorns at my place in Canada, the smell was a combination of dirty underwear and something dead. How anyone could gather the muster to eat such a thing is beyond me. Totally revolting.
