Phallus impudicus


Phallus impudicus is a fungus that produces an odor that attracts flies. For us it smells bad but flies appreciate.
They feed on the sticky liquid that contains the spores and thus carry them on their paws.
Phallus impudicus can spread over a vast territory, helped by flies.

To know also:
The first terrestrial plants appeared 400 million years ago.
Unlike the water lens (duckweeds) they had tubes to suck the water and rigid rods. But no leaves, no roots, no flowers, unlike today's plants.
