The Octopus Stinkhorn (Clathrus archeri), an introduced species from Australia, proudly displays its bizarre fruiting body in the sunny landscapes of Spain during June. With its vibrant colors and peculiar shape resembling devilish fingers or even an extraterrestrial creature, this alien mushroom has become a sensation among nature enthusiasts. Its arrival in Europe has sparked curiosity and excitement as it adds a touch of Australasian charm to the Iberian Peninsula. As summer sweeps across Spain, these stinky invaders bring not only their unique appearance but also a distinct aroma that fills the air. Their pungent scent attracts curious noses from far and wide, drawing attention to their mysterious existence. While some may find them repulsive due to their odor reminiscent of decaying flesh, others embrace these fungi as culinary curiosities. Adventurous foodies have been known to experiment with these "aliens" incorporating them into exotic dishes that challenge traditional palates.
