November Fungi - Devil's Fingers (Clathrus archeri)

I saw this extraordinary fungi for the first time yesterday on a hill pasture on the other side of the Wye when I didn't have my camera with me. Strangely enough I found it today in my own fields. For an Australian native that was introduced accidentally last century and which my book says is confined to the southern England and rarely recorded, it is spreading fast! It is clearly past its best so I will keep a look out for any more that might fruit.
