Ellen,
I have seen some (I thought it was some type mushroom) here. Did not notice any smell, however. Not sure what they are, unless it is a mushroom.??

After some research I think it is a stink horn. It sure does stink and I have no way of avoiding it. It stinks so bad that I can smell it even when I get home in the evening. PPPPPPUUUUUU

Yep, the school opened in 01 and those wood chips have been there ever since. A few new ones are added to the top but the old ones are never taken up.
