Default stinky nasty wild mushrooms!!!

Hi group..
Is there a site or someplace I can look up to see what the heck is growing
in my yard? We live in Bastrop county, west of Bastrop. We noticed this
terrible stink out in the back and thought there was something wrong with
the septic. Went out there and found these really wierd, ugly and very
stinky wild mushrooms..They grow up about 4" or so tall, the stem part is
very thick, about an inch and is hollow. The hood part is very odd, instead
of making an umbrella shape, it's very close to the mushroom and is an ugly
dark green(shaped like a closed umbrella). They are usually covered with
flying bugs..I am hoping to find something to get rid of them..There is no
grass out there, just mulch and such..Was thinking of drenching the area
with roundup..These are the stinkiest little things I have ever seen. I can
have two of them in the yard and smell it all the way up on the patio...

Thanks so much,
John
