I didn't say mushroom; it is definitly not a mushroom. Sorry about 'plant' confusing you. This a fungus plant that grows on other plants and blooms periodically. and it holds the world record!

upon re-review: my possible bad: it is a flower certainly "but is similar to fungi" as it has no stem, roots, or chlorophyll and lives off a host plant. It is of a 'parasitic genus' which is a dead giveaway...and what it smells like to boot!

It was a bit cryptic i guess, .. "wins the RAFFLE" / Stamford Raffles and Inter Alia (Rafflesia), and Conan's forename (Arnold Schwarzenegger is Conan lol), so Rafflesia arnoldii.. Blame it on my twisted mind

Hope I find something soon
