[edit] Genus

My research shows that this species might actually be in the genus Phallus. Badagnani 04:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year discovered

Thanks for the move. I think there are two separate new species names, depending on whether the mushroom has the net surrounding it (this is discussed on some websites). Can this be clarified? Also, there are two years given: one in the box and one in the text: 1798 and 1809. Which is correct? Badagnani 18:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purpose of the 'skirt'

I came to this article hoping to find out what the purpose of the indusium or 'skirt' that forms around the base of the mushroom. Is it for protection from larger animals such as rodents? If there is a known theory as to what its function is I would be very grateful if someone could add it. 93.97.42.178 (talk) 11:21, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orgasms

Many mycologists think that the study that says that this species produces female orgasms is complete BS and I am inclined to agree.

It is true that a peer reviewed study says its true.

This may say more about the peer review process than the ability of this fungus to produce female orgasms.

Aloha Alan. I don't necessarily disagree with you, but we have to follow the principle of verifiability, not truth. If someday a mycologist were to publish their contradictory opinion about this study in a reliable source, then we would certainly include that here too (going to Hawaii anytime soon?)
