Anyone recognise this fugus?
Hi all,
A small part of my yard is seeing this unfortunately shaped funus stalks come through the lawn. Apart from their phalic shape, they have a terrible smell (like doggie do) that attracts flies, and oozes a brown fluid from its crown.
A particularly large one saw the crown open like a multi pronged crown to reveal a hollow interior.
These only last less than a full day before whilting.
The patch of yard they are in is in part shade, and sees a lot of rain water drain into it from the guttering (very sandy soil, very well draining).
Might it indicate something sinister in the soil? The kid's swing set is there too.
Cheers for any help,
Mental.
