Not a bad choice of music, I guess. Sounds vaguely fungus-y.

Needs Mushroom Hill Zone music.

I cannot possibly believe this isn't already here. This is the sweetest part of this episode.

Anyone know who did the music?

I'm such a dork. I yelled out STINKHORN! as soon as I saw it come out of the ground. Total nerd.

what's the lattice structure for?

baleen - 2008-04-24

It is called an indusium and helps disperse the fetid smell of the stinkhorn's slime over a larger area. The slime attracts the flies which carry the spores around.

Amazingly the stinkhorn drops its net in a matter of 30 minutes, which means you can literally watch this happen in front of you in real time if you really wanted to.

i was already going to give this video five stars, but
"i am not a virgin" really sealed the deal...
and was stated with perfect context.

Everyone has to save against poison/paralysis or that stuff will start growing in your brain.

Oh man! The stinkhorn had a leaf on it. On a tv show! How embarassing for it!

Nature is at its most creepy and horrifying when it's pulsating. Why is that?

Someone should have thought to do a time lapse like this of that Phillipino Swamp Thing guy. That's what his makes me think of: horrible, mutant strains of HPV.

+5 because I get to repeat my favorite slime mold related British headline, re: a slime mold slug solving a simple maze: "OOZE A CLEVER BOY?"
