Whazzat is where our cat, Little Devil will post new photographs of things even we don't know what they are. Strange medical equipment, odd animals, twisted literature. We want you to help him figure out what these things are so please post all your ideas and any questions you have about the item. It's a game of sorts. Who knows, maybe we'll send you something special as a prize if you convince me you're right!

Three Horned Shroom
What could this be! This three tonged mushroom like fungi is connected at the top and has a little cap that sits on the whole deal. Oh, and it smells like rotting meat! That's why I like it. What is it!
That's a "cage stinkhorn mushroom" - if you find another, dehydrate it, it would be a great addition to your collection (and the stench will last for years!).
Looks like a old Onion Ring.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone was trying to grow crabgrass and didn't understand that sticking random crab parts in the ground won't cut it.
ReplyDeleteSoe kind of 'stinkhorn' mushroom...?
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it is truly ELDRITCH!
ReplyDeleteIf you think that smells awesome, you should look into getting one of these (or a dozen) for your yard! It's called a Corpse Flower.
