Listener Erin in Carlingford made an interesting discovery while out in her garden. She found what looked like white speckled eggs on the ground, under a piece of bark.

Thankfully with the help of Today FM listeners and TCD Zoologist, Collie Ennis, we were able to identify something called stinkhorn fungus. Yep, really.
