Hi Jim, group, etc.

This is in poor taste to mention, but what the heck. I have a fungus
in my garden that graces me with its presence on hot humid (extremely
humid) summer days. It's bright orange and resembles a male dog's
male organ. In fact, I think that's what the scientific name for it
was based on. It's been years since I looked it up on internet, so
my memory might be a bit fuzzy.

It has an overpowering smell. Not exactly pleasant. Not exactly
unpleasant. Suffice it to say, I can tell when one of them is out
the instant I step outside the front door. LOL. (I've smelled it
twice so far this year.) It sure makes a great conversation starter
when I have visitors remark upon the ... unique ... smell of my
garden on those special days. LOL.
