One of the most striking features is their finger-like fruiting bodies, which often emerge from the ground or decaying wood. Some species within this group have a distinct, often unpleasant odor that attracts flies, aiding in spore dispersal. Mutinus can be spotted in various habitats, including gardens, forests, and grassy areas, making them an interesting find for those exploring nature.
