Hello all
I am fairly new to gardening and have a problem that i hope
some of you more experianced types could help me with.
In my garden i keep getting white balls of what i think are a
type of fungus they are just bellow the surface of the soil and after
some time start to protrude, they are guey inside and smell absolutelly
foul does anyone know what this is and more importantly how to get rid
of them???
thanks Chris

Stinkhorn ( Phallus_impudicus ) perhaps?

Not a lot you can do to rid your garden of them - they're there
because the environmental conditions suit them.
They're quite harmless ( if perhaps offensive to the nose ), and
perhaps the best that you can do is simply pull 'em up as and when you
see them.

Regards,
