fructifying

There were spawned out salmon on the banks, and the air smelled of fish in a marvelous fructifying funk that is the death that brings new life to the river.

And “Better Things” kept going, fructifying into a closely observed and deeply felt portrait of one woman’s over-full life.

The soil is darker than coffee grounds, inky, sweet and redolent of fructifying forest funk.

The autumn morning shone bright gold and blue through the turning leaves of the trees, and delectable, deep, dark mud gave off the scent of fructifying funk.

Or rather, it was a productive and fructifying pain.
