Stinkhorns instead produce a sticky spore mass on their tip which has a sharp, sickly-sweet odor of carrion to attract blow-flies ( species " Calliphora vicina ", " Lucilia caesar ", " Lucilia ampullacea " and " Dryomyza anilis " ) also feed on the slime, and soon after leaving the fruit body, they deposit liquid feces that contain a dense suspension of spores.
