Ciri dan struktur
Clathrus archeri grows in two distinct stages, first an "egg stage" followed by the fungal "arms" emerging. In the first stage, it forms a white spherical to ovoid egg shape, usually 3-4 cm tall, with thread-like mycelium at the base. Next, between 4 and 8 pinkish-red arms emerge from the egg. Each arm can grow up to 10 cm in length and is coated in spore-bearing gleba on the upper surface which is dark greenish-brown in colour (becoming black when dry). Fruiting bodies have a lifespan of a day or two. The spores are elliptical, smooth, and 3.5–6 × 1.5–2 μm in size. Like other members of the family Phallaceae, the strong putrid smell of the gleba shows convergent evolution with some angiosperm flowers called sapromyophilous flowers. Sisson (2023) notes the peak season of the fungus in New Zealand is from October to June. The species, Aseroe rubra, is sometimes confused with C. archeri. It differs from Aseroe rubra in its larger size and the presence of gleba along the arms; in Aseroe rubra, the gleba is confined to the central area. Clathrus archeri also generally has thick, unfused arms, although the tips are sometimes fused before maturity. In laboratory settings, C. archeri was found to grow best in 26 C on a compost agar medium with a pH of 6.0. Under these conditions, the thallus grew up to 2.9 mm a day over four weeks and in a radial shape. C. archeri produces white mycelium and eventually turns a pink colour. On the surface of the hyphae, calcium oxalate crystals are secreted. It is hypothesised that this outer layer of crystals creates a protective hydrophobic layer around the hyphae.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Clathrus archeris kisaran distribusi asli diperdebatkan. Pietras et al. (2021) dan Johnson & Jürgens (2010) mencantumkan bahwa Afrika, Australia, dan New Zealand are daerah distribusi asli. New Zealand mycologist Jerry Cooper said bahwa spesies ini diperkenalkan ke New Zealand from Australia, dan spesies di kedua negara spesies ini dianggap tidak biasa pada tahun 1930-an. Cooper also mengatakan bahwa "mungkin tidak ada Australia nor Baru Zealand represent rentang asli spesies ini". The fungus has been spreading to other continents, such as Europe and North America, and is potentially considered an invasive species in accordance with the International Union for Conservation of Nature's definition of an invasive species. The species has been present in Europe since the early 20th century, with the first discovery of the fungus being in 1914 in Britain and France. Jamur ini kemungkinan diperkenalkan ke Europe from Australian wool impor atau dalam pasokan untuk Perang Dunia I. Awalnya menyebar dari France to Belgia, dan kemudian ke Austria, Jerman, Swiss, dan Italia. C. archeri telah tercatat di Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ceko, Kroasia, Polandia, Slovenia, Rumania, dan Ukraina.
