Basket Stinkhorn Pendant

clathrus ruber

The basket stinkhorn fruit body starts out looking like an egg with the lattice structure inside. It ruptures out of the egg as the spongy lattice expands. The gleba, the spore bearing slime inside, has a fetid rotting meat like odor, attracting flies that will help spread its spores.

Each fungi pendant is a study in glass of a specific mushroom that interests me. I try to create the colors and details accurate to each species. A meaningful and unique piece for a fungi nerd or aspiring mycologist. *Chain is not included
