  1. I live in Maine and have these big brown mushrooms in the damp, shaded part of my yard on the edge of the woods. The caps are about 12 inches in diameter, the stem is whitish brown and grows very slanted until near the cap where it straightens out. The caps are brown (not a solid brown, lots of hues) and are round(ish) but lopsided and tend to droop towards the ground. They grow far apart from each other, not really in clusters. The reason I'm posting this is because I've always been interested in fungi, but never thought I'd run into this. It's possibly ruined it for me. For a week we have been smelling a rotting carcass smell. Identical to a dead animal. I finally tracked it down after walking around the now decaying mushrooms several times. Thinking it would smell like dirt and having not finding the culprit, I decided to give the mushy mushroom a light whiff and almost lost it. The smell is the worst I've ever dealt with. Just like rotting roadkill but inside your nose?! While rotting they look like a mushy pile of dark poop (sorry, no other explanation) and slime. They also have white fuzz growing on the rotting filth, with flies all over it. The smell was so horrid I covered them all with sand because I couldn't bear digging them up and possibly smelling it more. I didn't think to get a picture but I'm sure more will come up. It's NOT a Stinkhorn! Does anyone have ideas as to what they are? They didn't stink when they were alive. Here's a photo of a similar one, but ours have wide, visible stems and aren't in clusters.
  2. Hey guys I need help identifying these mushrooms so I know if there edible or not I found them in my back yard I live in south west Missouri if that helps. Thanks!!?
