Dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide, together with hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol, are major components of the odour of the stink horn. Phallus impudicus. Other volatile compounds include linalool, /ran -ocimene and phenylacetaldehyde. These compounds attract flies to the stinkhorn. The spores of the stink horn stick to the fly and are then dispersed to potential sites...

Note the differences between the mass (Dbm) and snrface (Dbs) fractal dimensions of the species.

Phallus impudicus Temporary defensive ridges produced by Stropharia caerulea, but these were breached in a few places and the fungus was replaced when Phallus impudicus reached the wood blocks Differences not usually significant No change in Dbm or Dbs... 

During studies of the odorous substances from Phallus impudicus bis-Y-glutamylcystine has been isolated (compare Section VII. 6.3.) (397). 

Volatile amines, in most instances monoamines, are constituents of flower scents attracting pollinators (E 5.5.1). They cause also the smell of the foetid morel (Phallus impudicus) which attracts carrion-freeding insects distributing the spores of this mushroom. y-Aminobutyric acid, dopamine, serotonin and histamine serve as hormones and/or neural transmitters in animals (E 3.1 and E 3.2).
