This suggestively shaped mushroom was named, with permission, for a distinguished herpetologist with an sense of humor—Robert Drewes of the California Academy of Sciences.

Phallus drewesii, a two-inch-long (five-centimeter-long) species of stinkhorn fungus, was found on the isolated island country of Sâo Tomé and Príncipe off West Africa.

Although it's a newly described species, the fungus shares a common characteristic with other stinkhorns: It emits a foul odor to draw flies, which help spread its spores
