Stinkhorns when they are fully grown are super smelly and coated in a sticky protective gel called gleba. This is not very appetizing at all and not considered edible. However, when the mushroom is still in its ‘egg stage’ of growth it is considered edible. In fact, in some areas of the world it is considered a delicacy. It is reported that it tastes a little like a radish. Due to its smelly nature it is not expected to be a very tasty dish.
