    The Stinkhorns we have in Florida are smaller that New Zealand’s but they stink just as bad I bet. You can see them right after a summer rain popping up in your yard, and smell them from yards away!...............

    No, stinkhorn mushrooms are generally not poisonous to humans, but they are not recommended for consumption due to their foul odor and potential for causing gastrointestinal issues in pets. Their strong smell, which resembles rotting flesh, is used to attract insects that spread their spores. While some species are considered edible in their immature “egg” stage, the mature mushrooms’ odor is likely to deter most people from eating them. .............

    Oddly, I just looked over at my dog to see if she was oozing anything.
Nope.
