Could you pls do a FOTD for smooth cage fungus if you haven't already? I think they look pretty interesting :]

FOTD #076 : smooth cage fungus! (ileodictyon gracile)

the smooth cage fungus is a saprotrophic fungus in the family phallaceae. it is native to australia, but has also been found in china, japan, india, south korea, england, italy, portugal & spain.

the big question : can i bite it?? the edibility is unconfirmed - but the putrid smell will steer you away !!

i. gracile description :

"the smooth cage fungus's basidiocarps (fruit bodies), are shaped like a ball with interlaced or latticed branches. it is a whitish, mesh ball."
