Fallen Gleba of Common Stinkhorn Mushroom Still Attracts Various Flies

As previously shown in the time-lapse movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNoot8NWZxI), the spongy white stalk of a Common stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus, family Phallaceae) broke in half simultaneously after growing up rapidly and completing the fly-mediated spore dispersal. Days later, fewer flies (Diptera), tiny ants (unidentified) and a tiny wasp (unidentified) still lingered on the less-stinky gleba fallen on the forest floor. Those flies included a male of saprophagous fly (Dryomyza formosa, family Dryomyzidae), greenbottle fly (Lucilia caesar?, family Calliphoridae) and fruit fly (Drosophila sp., family Drosophilidae) and so on, licking the gleba and helping the dispersal of the stinkhorn spores. As you can see, the stalk of the disintegrating stinkhorn mushroom had been partially eaten away by somebody (worms, insects or slugs). Captured in the cloudy early-afternoon (around 13:20 PM) of early-November 2024 in Japan. For a full story (text in Japanese); https://sigma-nature-vlog.blogspot.com/2026/03/blog-post.html
