He noticed that one of the plates contained a blob of moldy contaminant that had apparently grown from particles wafting in through an open window. Having settled on the jellylike nutriment intended for the cultivation of a type of bacteria called staphylococci, the fungus had grown into a flourishing mass...
...early morning quick-starter. An afternoon snack. The only viable option to baked ziti. There's probably only one food that everyone can count on for their nutriment needs: cereal.

One of those places was the Yard, where the poisoned nuts lay buried. The noxious bacteria in the tea found the toxic substance in the acorns a perfect nutriment. The odoriferous gas you have inquired about is a little-known by-product of their metabolism, encountered only when the bacterial colonies are able to grow without restraint. I'll wager there won't be much green in the Yard for Commencement Exercises this Spring...
