Phallus indusiatus, commonly known as bamboo fungus, bridal veil fungus, veiled lady or Long Net Stinkhorn, belongs to the family Phallaceae. It can be found in tropical areas, which include Mexico, South America, Malaysia, Australia, southern China, Hong Kong and Japan. It is easy to identify due to the presence of a well-developed indusium, white pseudostipe and volva. Due to their anti-oxidative and nutritional bioactivity properties, the ancient Chinese have been using this fungus to treat many inflammatories, gastric and neural diseases since 618 AD.
The young fruit body of this fungus is egg-like and dirty white to grey. It has bell-shaped cap, reticulate with a circular, white-edged opening at the tip, covered with a slimy, foetid and dark greenish brown spore mass. Its skirt-like indusium is white to pale yellowish white, net-like and hanging down from under the cap. The pseudo-stem is white, spongy, hollow, cylindrical and tapering upwards. This fungus usually grows singly on the ground.
