We have a thick layer of wood chip mulch on parts of our new property
which
we haven't gotten around to landscaping (translation: cannot begin to
afford
to landscape yet.)

It's come up in stinkhorn mushrooms which have to be the single grossest
thing that can grow in your garden.

They look exactly like penises. It's surreal to have a patch of them greet
you first thing in the morning. Even worse, they deserve their name as
they
really do stink.

This is weird. I've had a few mushrooms come up under the same conditions, but
they don/t stink. They do attract flies though. Maybe I've just gotten to
them by the time they're almost dead/collapsed, therefore stinkless.
