Description
Lysurus are remarkable fungi known for their eye-catching and bizarre shapes, often resembling sea anemones or alien creatures. They are found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions and typically grow on decaying wood, where they help in breaking down organic matter. When mature, they emit a foul odor to attract insects, which then help disperse their spores. This peculiar group of fungi captivates enthusiasts with their unique and unmistakable appearance.
