TEXAS!!! NEW DISCOVERY!

Texas, you can officially add the extremely elusive
Lysurus cruciatus, (Lizard’s Claw Stinkhorn), to the list of species found in Texas. To my knowledge the Lizard’s claw is rarely found or reported anywhere really and 0 documented in Texas. I stumbled upon these 2 specimens in a line of woods by a abandoned pasture in South Houston. I found them directly in a cow patty. Strangely they were within a few feet of two, also very rare, Cauliflower Mushrooms! I was quite amazed by them and decided to collect them to identify and low and behold they squirted black goo on my palm when I pulled them up. It was absolutely rancid. It was pretty much like something you would see in one of the Alien movies. I only just read about and identified what I found through a Reddit community & realized I needed to document this somewhere as it’s a first….

Pretty pretty cool fungus is all I can say. I literally thougt they were crab claws in a cow patty somehow at first
