I found these mushrooms on a shady trail, but well before I could see them I smelled their foul odor. The fungi clearly means to attract flies since many of them swarmed around a cluster.
Some of the over ripe caps appeared to be melting as they decayed. The decaying process possibly serves to smell stronger and attract more flies! Possible spore spreaders? Yes.
Maybe it was because they had already been out there for a while, but all the caps had at least some kind of mold.
