About
Published on Dec 2, 2015 El falo hediondo (Phallus impudicus) es un hongo que demuestra que la naturaleza es una gran imitadora del hombre, o quizás al revés. Su olor a cadáver en descomposición se percibe a varios metros de distancia y atrae a las moscas que se posan en su gleba, contribuyendo de esta manera a la dispersión de sus esporas. Google Translate: The smelly phallus (Phallus impudicus) is a fungus that shows that nature is a great imitator of man, or perhaps the other way around. Its decomposing corpse smell is perceived several meters away and attracts flies that perch on its glebe, contributing in this way to the dispersal of its spores. |
