Stinkhorn! Must be dug up when it's just in round pod stage- spreads easily and smellsto high heaven! Will shrink and die after a few days though... -

"Shipsmell."Do not stomp on it.Dig it out.Huge radius around it - got to get it all or it will multiply ferociously.Not edible.Not ornamental, either. -

We had them pop up all over our backyard a year or so after we had trees cut. They stink AWFULLY and we dug them up. I want to say they came back for a couple years. -
