I have bright red mushroom/fungi appearing on my lawn that shrivel at the end of the day. The fungi are spongy, cavernous and have a putrid smell that attracts flys. I live in Miami, have dogs and am afraid of toxicity. I took some good pictures, if anyone is interested or can refer me to someone that is.

There are some pretty strange fungi around this world. I would suggest you take a sample or a good picture to your local State Extension Center and let the professors who man them help you with the ID. Every county in every state has them. If you can't find it in the phone book call a L&G center and see if they have the number handy.

It may be a fungi called "RUST". It could be caused from overwatering,rain and or poor drainage. Take a sample or the pictures to your County Extention Office they can tell you for sure.

Does it have a starfish-like shape? If so it is Aseröe rubra. If not, you can check out the second link.
