  Hi I found something that appears to be stinkhorn - is that native to our area (bucksport me)? At first I thought a seagull dropped a piece of fish or something near my garden - now I see them growing. Diane

  Answer

  Dear dscheier, yes, stinkhorns (order Phallales) are native to the northeast, including Maine. Some species can be quite elaborate in their structure. While native here, I only see them occasionally. Best wishes.
