Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Phallus hadriani
- Reason
- Image high resolution, clear details on both stem and cap, and good EV: clearly shows feature which distinguishes it from the closely-related species Phallus impudicus (i.e. the pinkish volva remnant at the base of the stem).

- Comment: Firstly, this looks far better in high resolution that it does in the thumbnail. Secondly, the twig at the bottom is rather distracting- perhaps that could be cropped out? J Milburn (talk) 18:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

- Question: Is the fungus typically tilted like that? SpencerT♦C 21:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Because of its rather unique small head, this species isn't constrained spatially by the presence of a large cap like other 'typical' mushrooms, so this non-vertical orientation is well within the limits of normal. Besides, it's phallic. Sasata (talk) 09:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support I agree it does look better full size. The twig doesn't bother me and this seems to meet the criteria. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 00:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support; this picture looks a lot better to me now. I would still support cropping out the twig, but even if it is there, I'm happy. J Milburn (talk) 00:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
