WTF Wednesday: Cat in a Loafer, Phallus Duplicatus

Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!
 

I must start this WTF Wednesday with a moment of silence for my Grandpa Wallace who passed away in Palm Beach at the ripe old age of 94 this weekend. He was pretty cool.  He was an architectural delineator and led a fairly charmed life. 94 is a lot of years, we should all be so lucky.

Now it's a cat in a loafer.

Last but not least, a stinkhorn mushroom spotted on a hike on Big Butt mountain off the Blue Ridge Parkway on Monday. Phallus duplicatus - astonishing net-like skirt.
