The weather in Brisbane has been hot, humid and rainy for the last few days – ideal weather for fungi and for fungi spotting.

Red Stinkhorn fungi (Phallus rubicundus) spotted on a flower bed. I even spotted some flys attracted by the pungent foul smelling or dour omitted by the fungus specimens.

I spotted some great specimens of plate fungi growing on a tree stump at my place of work (a large state university in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia).
