Starfish Fungus
Starfish Fungus
Aseroe rubra also known as starfish fungus, is a common and widespread
basidiomycete fungus recognizable for its foul odour of carrion and its
sea anemone shape when mature.
Found in gardens on mulch and in
grassy areas, it resembles a red star-shaped structure covered in
brownish slime on a white stalk. It attracts flies, which spread its
spores.
