True!
A little OT but...this past summer, I noticed a decaying animal smell in my backyard. Started looking everywhere for a carcass, couldn't find anything. It got worse. Finally, I tracked the smell to an area under my deck where I found...a stinkhorn. The cap was covered black with flies. The tip was oozing this disgusting gunk that was producing the smell. An ingenious way to attract the flies but what a horrible odor.
As to the shape...  Man, I never laughed so hard in my life.
