A mushroom’s netSourced
This mushroom grows its own lace-like skirt
Phallus indusiatus develops a net-like structure hanging below its cap. Often called a skirt, the net can extend down towards the base in well-developed specimens. The immature fruit body is enclosed in an egg-like structure that splits as the mushroom expands.
The net is grown by the fungus itself.
