 Geographical Distribution of Fungi by Guy R. Bisby
An analysis of genera of Phallales and Lycoperdales having one, two and three species suggests the same conclusion: about half such genera in each of the two orders are known near the Pacific.
It is perhaps even more noteworthy that of eleven monotypic genera of Phallales, ten are restricted to warm and relatively small areas in America, Asia or Africa, the eleventh to New Zealand.
One may conclude that many Phallales had a rather limited distribution before man began to travel; in other words, that they are influenced by climate and probably by having had less time than many other fungi in which to travel by their own devices.

PHALLALES: basidiomes epigeous; hymenium present; peridium 1-layered; gleba slimy; spores dark; the stinkhorns, a name derived from the odor emitted from the gleba as mature spores are produced.
Flies feed on the gleba portions and the spores stick to the surface of the fly.

 Hysterangiaceae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
The Hysterangiaceae is generally classified as being either closely related to the boletoid fungi (Boletales) or the Stink Horns (Phallales).
In order to address this question and others pertaining to the systematics and evolution of the Hysterangiaceae, we have constructed preliminary data sets of the nuclear and mitochondrial LSU rDNA sequences for species from several genera in the Hysterangiaceae and several genera of Stink Horns.
Our results strongly support the placement of Hysterangiaceae in the Phallales; we have also identified other genera of false-truffles, which are currently not considered closely related to the Phallales.

 Dictyophora duplicata, the veiled stinkhorn or the netted stinkhorn, Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for July1999
The stinkhorns are all members of the order Phallales.
Surprisingly there are some human uses for members of the Phallales.
As you might guess (especially if you're familiar with the doctrine of signatures, where the ailment cured by an organism is related to its shape), you won't be surprised that both of these are considered aphrodisiacs!

 Gerald Durrell Jersey Zoo Bioluminescence Chemiluminescence
The spores pass through the gut and are not only dispersed but also provided with nutrients.
Virtually all members of the fungal family Phallales (stinkhorn fungi) give off an unpleasant odour redolent of rotting meat or sewage, which attracts beetles or flies.
These disperse the spores, either when they pass through the gut or when they become attached to the insects' head or thorax.

 Harvard University Press/Features/Elio Schaechter/In the Company of Mushrooms
Some members of this group have a startling resemblance to the human penis, others to the penis of the dog.
Surely this combination of attributes has helped this group of funguses, the Phallales, earn a prominent, if disreputable, place in the history of mushrooms and human affairs.
Hardly any type of fungus has produced a greater reaction than the stinkhorns.
