what to do with extra mushroom compost

I recently bought some mushroom compost for my garden. I ordered 2 yards, but the supplier thought he was doing me a favor gave me close to 3. so now I have an extra yard of it stinking up my driveway. I'm thinking of throwing it into my compost bin, just wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't.

No reason I guess, except that it seems a little wasteful. It's already composted, so it doesn't need more. Ship it to me, I'd be glad to find a use for it! :) You don't have any flower/veggie/herb beds or lawn that could use a top dressing of expensive compost? You can just use it as mulch.

Adding a small amount to your compost pile (10% rule) is probably beneficial.
