What is another word for Genus Clathrus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs klˈaθɹəs] (IPA) 
Genus Clathrus is a type of mushroom that belongs to the Phallaceae family. Some synonyms used to refer to this species include the basket stinkhorn mushroom, lattice stinkhorn mushroom, or the octopus stinkhorn mushroom. The name "clathrus" comes from the Latin word for "lattice" or "barrier," which describes the distinctive structure of the fungus when it is fully grown. Although it is commonly known as a stinkhorn mushroom, it is not the usual edible mushroom, and its fruiting bodies have a putrid odor that attracts insects for dispersal of its spores. This fascinating fungus is commonly found in wooded areas and can be seen during autumn months.
