''Phallus impudicus'', known colloquially as the common stinkhorn, is a widespread fungus recognizable for its foul odor and its phallic shape when mature, the latter feature giving rise to several names in 17th-century England. It is a common mushroom in Europe and western North America, where it occurs in habitats rich in wood debris such as forests and mulched gardens. It appears from summer to late autumn. The fruiting structure is tall and white with a slimy, dark olive colored conical head. Known as the gleba, this material contains the spores, and is transported by insects which are attracted by the odor—described as resembling carrion. Despite its foul smell, it is not poisonous and immature mushrooms are consumed in parts of France and Germany. == Taxonomy ==
Botanist John Gerard called it the "pricke mushroom" or "fungus virilis penis effigie" in his ''General Historie of Plants'' of 1597, and John Parkinson referred to it as "Hollanders workingtoole" or "phallus hollandicus" in his ''Theatrum botanicum'' of 1640.〔 Linnaeus described it in his 1753 ''Species Plantarum'',〔 and it still bears its original binomial name. Its specific epithet, ''impudicus'', is derived from the Latin for "shameless" or "immodest".〔
