Ileodictyon cibarium

Ileodictyon cibarium, commonly known as the white basket fungus or basket fungus, is a species of fungus in the family Phallaceae. It was first described by the French naval surgeon Étienne Raoul in 1844 from material collected in Akaroa. The fungus is found in Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. It has also been introduced to East Africa and Southern England. The fruiting bodies develop in two distinct stages: first an "egg stage", followed by a "white-net" lattice stage, which expands into a shape comparable to that of a fullerene. The arms of the lattice stage are covered in sticky, spore-bearing gleba that attracts flies and other insects, which disperse the spores. Mature fruiting bodies can also roll across the ground when pushed by the wind. The fungus was traditionally consumed by the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand and is also present in Māori mythology....read more on Wikipedia.
