Stinkhorns are primarily found in wooded areas, gardens, and grasslands, often emerging from decaying organic matter like leaf litter or wood mulch. They thrive in damp environments and can appear in both temperate and tropical regions worldwide. Their distinctive, foul-smelling fruiting bodies attract insects, which help disperse their spores.
