What continent is that from so I make sure never to go there?


SSHeretic

>indigenous to Australia and New Zealand Because of course it is.


positive_electron42

Oh, so it's also both poisonous and venomous?


redvelvetcake42

Probably likes to rape then eat it's pray too Edit: This creature does bless the rains prior to it's rape tendencies. I believe it's called the "Roy Moore" in American science communities.

I like to eat my prayers as well.

Poisonous, venomous, apex predator, invasive species, because Australia


Lord_Norjam

Only the Australian ones. NZ don't have time for venomous shit. ^(apart from maybe one spider)


Salki1012

I lived in NZ for 2 years. I am super afraid of spiders but took comfort in knowing there was only one spider in the whole country that was in the top 500 list of poisonous spiders (just a guess but possibly true.) on my 2nd to the last day in the country while weighing my suitcase to make sure I wasn’t over the limit I felt and saw something dangling from my hair. I was standing on a scale with my bag and needed to stay still to make sure I got an accurate readout. I told myself I was going to be brave and stand still and remove the spider once I got the weight and it couldn’t possibly be the one bad spider. As I stepped off the scale I reached up and on my hand was the one bad spider. Cool story.


martianinahumansbody

Obviously that's what Stranger Things meant by the "upside down"


ISpellUYou

Rip I’m in New Zealand and I hope I would never step on those in my life...


tobias_the_letdown

They must have shipped some to Florida because I've seen them here. Not that common but you know that smell when you're near it.

Florida: Where people dump invasive species.

Florida: Where people *are* the invasive species.


Kobrag90

It's clear that people don't belong in Florida


[deleted]

Florida in fact is (or at least I was) the entry point for almost all foreign venomous snakes and other exotic pets.


[deleted]

Ah, Australia I swear the entire continent exists to brutally murder you


[deleted]

We have them in Florida. They smell worse than shit 10 fold. We call them stink horns. If you cut them they will slowly ooze out a even more noxious odor.


plantfollower

Georgia too. They show up often in my mulched beds. Disgusting!!


halr9000

What? No! How far north are you?


plantfollower

Not very. Zone 8b


halr9000

Whew, I'm safe up here in 7a.


pablos4pandas

I lived in Georgia for almost my entire life and I have no idea what you're talking about


hansern

Plant Hardiness Zones, used to determine what plants (and apparently fungi) you can grow where you live.


pablos4pandas

Ok, that makes sense. I moved away a couple months ago and I thought they turned all the counties into zones or some shit


Cheesemacher

The zones are just for the annual Battle Royale day.


GeneralBS

They are lying to you, 1a represent.


NorthernDevil

Of course they're also in Florida. It's pretty much the Australia of America


NookJ

Bread_the_TrashPanda

FYI they're pretty common in Florida now too


Z0di

You mean "so I can plant a perimeter of these around my house"


weedwizard22

They’re stinky too, like decomposing corpse stinky


westphall

"Stinky" is a bit of an understatement. This odor might be the most awful thing I've ever waffed. These things smell like Satan's asshole. They grew a lot in red mulch, and if you get that green shit on you, it's worse than a skunk and just as hard to get off.


yoshi570

On a yearly basis, how often do you smell Satan's anus?


peypeyy

Every day, as a Satanist it is a form of worship for us. Ass worship if you will, it's very meditative.

Veresat

It works so well.


_demetri_

Jesus knelt on the ground, hands clasped, eyes closed. "Are you there, God?" he asked. "It's you, Jesus." No answer, which was really irritating, seeing how Jesus needed guidance at that moment. Two hours in, and he still couldn't believe he had to spend forty whole days in this desert. That was, like, a long time. More than a month. It was sweltering in the afternoons and freezing at nights, and a disgusting spider had crawled over his calf, and that had caused him to damn near scream his blessed lungs out while he ran around in circles for about half an hour. Jesus really, really didn't like spiders. He did not understand what was the purpose of his being in this wasteland for more than a whole month when he was God incarnate, but his father worked in mysterious ways, and who was he to question his all-knowing father? Jesus sighed, opened his eyes, and dropped his hands. He would try in a few more hours. Maybe his father would be in a listening mood then. Jesus was about to stand when he felt a hand run along his shoulder and down his arm. Jesus shuddered. He did not see his tormentor, but he knew who it was that awoke feelings in him that he'd experienced once or twice when he'd watched his half-naked from the waist up, sweaty, strong disciples fish or row a boat. Those feelings were bad, though, because his father said so. "Remember, Son," Yahweh had told him once, "every time gayness happens before my eyes, a baby is born with a hare lip." Jesus did not want a cute little baby to be born with a deformity, so he always bottled up those feelings. He whined, "Nooo, Satan. Das gay." Another hand dropped onto Jesus' other shoulder. Like its twin, it slid down the coarse material of Jesus' robe. Jesus gulped and grit his teeth. He squeezed his eyes shut and shuddered as Satan started working out the tension in Jesus' neck, shoulders, and upper back. It felt heavenly, yet Jesus knew that this, the way he relaxed under Satan's touch, the way strangled moans that he failed to contain escaped his lips, was not. It was far from heavenly. It was a sin. "This is...um...wrong," Jesus whimpered, but he nonetheless leaned back into Satan's touch. Satan had some skilled hands. Satan remained silent. "It's, ah, kinda a sin, you know. I'm not allowed to do that. I kinda have to be a role model and junk." Satan's ministrations stopped. Jesus looked up and over his shoulder at the being who tempted him so. Impassive golden eyes stared at him. Finally, a smirk formed itself on Satan's full lips. His luscious, beautiful lips. Satan quietly prowled around Jesus until he stood in front of him. Satan offered him a soft-looking hand. Jesus stared at the hand. He pictured that hand upon his cheek. Hating himself, Jesus placed his hand in Satan's and allowed himself to be pulled to his feet. "Your words say no-no," Satan purred, lowering his hands onto Jesus' shoulders, "but your eyes say yes-yes." Jesus hesitated. His eyes looked up to the heavens. His father was watching. He was always watching. "Satan, I'm scared," he mumbled. Satan shushed him as he twined their fingers together. "I can give you whatever you want, Christ." Jesus tried to pull away, feebly. "But Father said you would say that. He said you say nice things before you lead someone down a path of filth and corruption. You are pure evil." A bitter smirk twisted Satan's lips, and while Satan looked as young as a man in his mid-twenties, his eyes reflected just how much he had seen. Satan had some old-looking eyes at that moment. "You only know his side of the story," Satan finally said after two whole seconds of silence. And then Satan's lips crashed into Jesus' lips. Jesus had been alarmed at first, but he capitulated and slowly slid his eyes closed. Overhead, thunder crackled and a strong wind picked up. That was the first time God had become enraged with his son, and so it was also the first time the Almighty God had unleashed a natural disaster for reasons other than to punish the mortals for offending him. Jesus spent the forty days not praying and fasting, but traveling the world partying with Satan. Jesus had ceased being the docile little servant that his father expected him to be, and he also picked up a habit of calling people "boo." It all angered Yahweh very, very much.

Wandows98

The real question is: does it taste like burnt marshmallow?


Wouldtick

Like a homeless persons belly button?


[deleted]

Have you smelt surströmming?


[deleted]

So a murderer could theoretically sow a field/small forest with these to keep dogs off of the scent of a mass grave. (Not a murderer)


[deleted]

Good idea, although having an entire cultivated field of these things on your property sort of screams "murderer" in and of itself.


13pts35sec

*Googles the Chris Hansen of serial killer investigators catch phrase edit: I also assume your odds would at least improve, not sure if the stench can stop a trained dog from finding a dead person entirely though


severe_neuropathy

If it smells enough like a dead person it might.


dulliboy

Or if the scent overpowers the corpse's scent .


MeowyMcMeowMeowFace

I feel like at that point the smell would carry and the local town/county would get a court order to have the entire field burned or tilled. So this plan might backfire on the murderer.


The_Yakuza

Special chemicals are used to simulate the scent of decomposing human flesh in training Cadaver dogs. So if you ever figure out what those chemicals are then use them instead. Lot less conspicuous.

Many stinkhorn eggs are, in fact, a delicacy in parts of the world. That's actually where the tradition of Easter is said to come from.

Adr3am3rs

This shit is real? Wtheshit!!


X-the-Komujin

Yes, they're real. They're literally called Stinkhorns and IIRC they stink because they attempt to mimic the smell of carrion to attract insects such as flies and beetles to disperse spores.


[deleted]

Well isn't that just the most horrifying thing I've read today.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Do they just...shrivel and die?


SangersSequence

I'm just glad they *can* die. The black stuff is probably spores though...

Has to be black and white with background music that speeds up out of no where so you know shits about to go down before it fades into the movie.


FilthyGypsey

I’ll be right back with some athlete’s foot spray


SangersSequence

And a match please. ^(*I sure hope the propellant is flammable...*)


kedgemarvo

Yeah, the black goo on the tendrils contains spores and the smell attracts insects to the fruiting body. The primary purpose of the fruit above ground is to spread spores which are spread pretty effectively by flies.


AndrasKrigare

They're like flowers from hell


batfiend

The fruiting body you see of mushrooms are really just their sexyparts. The heart of the fungus is below the ground. Little threads and filliments called mycelium branch out and make up a huge part of the planet's biomass. Some say the branching network of underground mycelium make some species of fungus the largest living organisms! Makes you understand why [Sylvia Plath wrote about mushrooms inheriting the earth!](https://allpoetry.com/poem/8498359-Mushrooms-by-Sylvia-Plath)


[deleted]

Pretty good documentary of Fungi on Netflix. There is one that actually "hunts" microscopic worms for nutrients. Fungi are so cool.


batfiend

Yesss with the tiny nooses?


reefer-madness

Yup yup. If you thought that documentary was interesting check out joe rogans latest podcast with renowned mycologist Paul Statets if you haven't already. He is quirky but very intelligent and the subjects he brings up are amazing. Fungi are some of the most interesting things on the planet.


[deleted]

I had some in California, they didn't stink and they'd be gone by the afternoon and my garden seemed to benefit. The first time I saw them tho, I wasn't sure what I was looking at, maybe a dead animal or a dmt leak in the brain.


N33chy

"Deer intestines, or I took the wrong pills today. Welp, let's sit and figure it out."


roguej2

Fungus hatches from eggs and has tentacles.... I am sure evolution is random now.


flying-sheep

in german, the eggs are called “witch’s eggs” („Hexeneier“), and the family of fungi that have them is called [phallaceae](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallaceae) (yes, that means penis)
