Last year my neighbor pointed out that we have them. Stinkhorn fungus. They come out after a good rain in the spring time.
Aptly named little buggers, they smell like a combination of old musty discloth and un-run garbage disposal. They've got this baby poo colored sticky stuff on them and I'm totally grossed out. Just these two smell up the whole front yard.
And, from a distance, they look like some gross serial licker is buried all but his tongue under my mulch.
Gee-ross.
Hah. Wasn't that a charming post. Hope you aren't reading this while you eat lunch.
eeewwww! not lunch, but I was about to indulge and have a Snickers bar and a glass og cola, think I´ll pass on that.
best wishes from Iceland
