Wikipedia

  1. stinky squid

    Pseudocolus fusiformis is a stinkhorn mushroom in the Phallaceae, a family well known for a remarkable range of fruit body types. It is the most widely distributed member of the genus Pseudocolus and has been found in the United States, Australia, Japan, Java, and the Philippines. It is commonly known as the stinky squid, because of its fetid odor, and its three or four upright "arms" which are connected at the top. The malodorous smell comes from the dark greenish slimy gleba covering the inside faces of the arms, and attracts insects that help to disperse the spores.

  1. stinky squid

    Stinky squid refers to any species of squid that produces a distinct, often unpleasant, smell. This could be due to environmental factors, their diet, or their natural body processes. Some squids are said to be 'stinky' because they release a certain type of ink or secretion that emits foul odor as a means of defense against predators. Moreover, the term could also be used to describe a squid that has started to decompose or has been improperly stored or prepared for cooking.
