Ginny-- I never would (wood) have guessed you would have it. I thought it was a southern thing. Usually found in wood mulch. It stinks as you know, once you have smelt it you do not forget it. It stinks to attract flies they land on it and fly off with the spores. I got free city wood mulch and a whole lot more!
With your weather you should be able to control it fairly easily. Many blessings to you!
