One of the things I enjoy as a Home Maker is mushroom hunting. In many places of the world people still rely on mushrooms as a source of food. It is sad to me that this art has been lost to us. My grandfather knew what mushrooms were good to eat, but did not teach his kids because of the danger of picking the wrong mushroom. I am glad for his wisdom. Mushrooms are very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
Here is a mushroom that is definitely NOT edible. We found it in my small kitchen garden when there was mysterious USS (unidentified stinky stench). I believe the spores came from the cypress chips I laid down for mulch. Does any one know what it is? It stinks!!! It smells like...some thing dead or dung. I would like to know the real name given to it to tell the kids. We already have a few names ourselves. I can not find it in my mushroom books. Please help.
If you love my post, do not forget to bookmark it.

It looks really cool, I love the color. I wish I knew more names of plants. In the summer we have mushrooms that are hard and round and
I have to dig them up out of the ground so the kids don't play with them. There almost as hard as a potato.
Mushrooms can be tricky. I believe there are more inedible species as compared to the edible ones.
Kids do not know unless we educate them. We don't want them to consume poisonous mushrooms!Stumbled.
Thank you for your responses ladies. Do you have any friends who are mushroom connoisseurs. This is my mystery mushroom. None of my books have it listed.
