| NOTES | Older Phallus impudicus specimens are occasionally mistaken for Yellow Morels. After the spore-bearing slime has been picked clean by insects, the pitted and ridged surface of the cap can resemble the cap of a morel. Since stinkhorns are hollow, and since the smell is not always as foul as it frequently is, it's easy to see why misidentification occurs. However, stinkhorns typically grow in summer, rather than spring - and a close examination will usually reveal traces of the slime. Misidentification is not a disaster, however; stinkhorns are edible. The "eggs" are even considered delicacies in some eastern countries.
