Anthurus Kalchbr. & MacOwan 1880

Anthurus and Aseroe are similar stinkhorns with a white stalk-like base and several tapering bright red arms. Anthurus characteristically has the arms joined at the top, but the number of arms and persistence of the joining of the arms varies somewhat in New Zealand material. Aseroe has free arms, and at the the top of the stalk there is a lateral disc, from which the arms are said to arise. In both taxa, there is copious, brown slime on the inside of the base of the arms.

Saprobic on soil and litter. Often in disturbed sites in natural areas, and very common on wood chip mulch in urban areas.
