Devil's Fingers Clathrus archeri

Devil’s Fingers, Clathrus archeri
10 cc/ml liquid fungi mycology culture syringe with a sterile needle

Clathrus archeri is one of the most unusual fungi, known for its dramatic fruiting body that emerges from an egg like structure and unfolds into multiple red, finger like arms. The surface is coated in a dark, spore bearing slime that attracts insects, which help disperse spores in place of traditional wind release.

This species produces compounds similar to the scent of rotting flesh, a trait that supports convergent evolution between fungi and certain angiosperms that rely on insects for pollination. The odor plays a key role in attracting flies, which act as vectors for spore dispersal.

Typically found in wood rich soils, mulch, and forested environments, Devil’s Fingers is highly sought after for its alien like form and unique biological strategy. It remains a standout species for those interested in uncommon fungi, stinkhorn biology, and visually distinct mushroom development.
