Can I eat common stinkhorn?
Yes, you can eat common stinkhorn when it's young and the fruiting body is still egg-shaped and white. However, as it matures and the distinctive smell develops, it becomes unpalatable. It's important to note that while not toxic, common stinkhorn is not commonly consumed due to its unpleasant odor and flavor. Always ensure correct identification and consult with local foraging experts before consumption.
