The Stinkhorn is a distinctive mushroom with a tall, slender stem supporting a conical or bell-shaped cap. The cap is covered in a dark, slimy spore mass that emits a foul odor to attract insects. The stem is smooth and pale, often with a slight curve, while the base may have remnants of a universal veil. The overall appearance is organic and slightly grotesque, fitting for a high-fantasy realism setting.
