Stinkhorn & Staghorn

[cervinae]

Hi there, I'm extremely new to all this so please forgive any mistakes. Just became interested in all things fungal in the last month (and have browsed this forum the last few days).

Anyhow, my girlfriend and I do a lot of walking in different areas so I'm hoping to discover a multitude of fungi in the coming months. Here's a couple from sunday when we were wandering in Dipton Woods.

We smelt this long before we saw it (I actually didn't find it that bad...) and it certainly was attracting the locals




I photographed this one as I'd never seen it before but from what I can gather it's quite common. I asked my girlfriend what it was called and she said Leister Cheese Fungus (should have known she was making it up ). I believe from looking at the galleries here it's a Yellow Staghorn
