Strange white sponge one growing in grass
White cone growing in grass! I've seen today a white ice cream cone like thing growing out of my grass. I went to pick it up and it's like a texture of cake sponge and when I tried to get rid of it all, I found it's actually sunk very deep into the lawn. I've tried to find info on the web, but haven't found anything close to it. When I was digging it, it really smelt bad. I've covered it over as I have a dog. Does anyone know what this could be and how to get rid of it? Thanks.

You can actually watch those grow into a quite rude looking fungus! They do stink, I have heard boiling water over them kills them but I havent tried it, they soon die as quick as they come up and the smell doesnt seem to last for long.
Ha! Thanks guys. Thought it might be a stinkhorn. Luckily only started to smell once I started digging deeper into ground. Just more concerned because of my dog!
