Its not faking its own death its simply letting out a aroma to attract bugs for it to reproduce. Humans are so quick to make things sound over exaggerated and weird, but thats just nature and it makes no sense because it obviously does look like its thriving. Saying its faking its own death is simply a video marketing scheme to make it sound more interesting. Would have sounded better though if they labeled is as This Mushroom Smells Like a Rotting Corpse because thats actually true.

Flora & fungi is raw energy made material. Cell structure being the proof no less. What we are seeing here is CHEMISTRY involving cross contamination & raw energy.
The bacteria from the fly infested that fungus strain & is ever so slowly killing the flys involved be it parasitic or symbiotic. Hence the fly having mutated so long ago at all into the horror it is now.

This is very intriguing! I love the camera work around 4: 03. You can see one fungus die, but then one takes its place right next to it! Thats awesome! Thanks for the cool information and hard work!

It's amazing to think that a fungus can reason and thing up a way to trick flies. In the evolutionary process, it must have taken eons of time for a fungus to think up such an elaborate plan.

amazing video, it helped me a lot in my college research work, the structure of the so called Basket stinkhorn is simply amazing and even inspires a lot of designers/ architects.

The flies drinking from the mushrooms and spreading their spores is just like bees drinking from flowers and spreading their pollen

Well the fungus needs something that the flies have - wings. In my head I imagined the fungus ripping off the flies wings and flying away with them

Can you tell me why the first one looks like a wrinkly pumpkin that has been carved, while the rest resemble the ghost face from the movie Scream?

We send _fertilizing winds_, and bring down rain from the sky for you to drink. It is not you who hold its reserves.

i don't get why it has to mirror the appearance of fruit though. its not like flies can discern things visually- can they?

I don't think that's a hoax. The flies know it's not an animal but they get food from it anyway. Looks like symbiosis.
