What stinks and sounds like a bell?

Dung!

An attempt to prod around some sheep poo yesterday turned up numbers of Aphodius sphacelatus, one of which was retrieved from a bucket of water before the rest emerged from gathered poo. Only other thing I had was a small staph, as yet undetermined. And this Tachyporus, which I shamefully forgot because I potted it in the field.
