Zimpeto fungi.

From Wikipedia "The Phallaceae are a family of fungi, commonly known as stinkhorn mushrooms. Belonging to the fungal order Phallales, the Phallaceae have a worldwide distribution, but are especially prevalent in tropical regions. They are known for their foul-smelling, sticky spore masses, or gleba, borne on the end of a stalk called the receptaculum."

Harpactira gigas, the common baboon spider found at Zimpeto forest.

It's so good to know that these can still be found in the greater Maputo city area. Our service learning is starting to generate worthwhile records. " Today Bioblitz was awesome, We found a baboon spider. Baboon spiders are related to Tarantulas, and they are the biggest spiders in Africa, so it was agreat discovery. After that we found the weirdest fungus, a mushroom with no hat. It's shape was just like a little stick. I had so much fun, I can't wait for next time!" (Cybelle Anzar).

This service learning project "leaves a lasting impact on our world because many years from now people will be able to go online and see the records we have made. This can help them make decisions on how to conserve the wildlife."

Comment by Matthew Cragie Stevenson. "Bioblitz is very useful, we can collect data about the different animals, insects etc, then in the future when the places we explore are gone we can help the scientists with their research."
