But are they edible?
Like anything, you can eat it at least once…
Ed- Despite the disgusting smell, octopus stinkhorn is not known to be poisonous to humans or pets.
German Wikipedia says it’s edible but it doesn’t taste good.
Father Nurgle is pleased.
As someone who’s absolutely afraid/disgusted/horrified by octopus, these also need to be eradicated from this planet
Clathrus archeri is not known to be toxic, however, consuming this fungus would not be enjoyable. Due to the rotting stench of stinkhorns, culinary application is not a common thought. There is also no record of the fungus being treated as a delicacy.
Lol. Damn near every fungi on Wikipedia has a toxicology section. But this one is just like, No one would ever think about eating this so who fucking knows?
If this ever evolves into The Flesh that Hates imma blame you all.
They are really cool, I saw one in the wild in southern Germany last fall
I also found some last fall!
Disturbing! I love it.
