名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A fungus, Clathrus columnatus, featuring two to five orange or red vertical columns joined at the top, and a fetid gleba.
    — Clathrus columnatus, a k a column stinkhorn, arises the same way all stinkhorn fungi do — via a subterranean “egg” that, when mature, sprouts a fruiting body that can appear in a variety of shapes (starburst, squid, basket or wiffle ball, zombie hand, etc., but, in this case, columnlike). The fruiting body, in turn, produces an olive-colored slime and that gut-wrenching, carrionlike stench so attractive to flies.
