Like alien tentacles, these fungi erupt from their eggs covered in a brown slime containing their spores and relies on flies for it's distribution. The putrid spelling slime on the waving tentacles lures in flies who get coated in the spore containing slime and carry it away to germinate into a new crop of fungi next year. This species is native of Australia but has been introduced to the UK where the can be found on rare occasions across the south.
