Ileodictyon is a genus of fungi in the stinkhorn family (Phallaceae). The genus, which is widely distributed in the Southern Hemisphere, contains two species.^[1]

The mushroom is one of the most common examples of the Stinkhorn family in Australia and is quite unique in structure. When fully grown, it looks like a white cage and the mushroom is one of the very few that often detaches from its base.^[2]
