Hello all,

Both "putridity" and "putrescence" can be found in the dictionary, one
coming from "putrid" and the other from "putrescent". Their meaning is
different.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/putrid
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/putrescence
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/putrescent

Cheers,
Jaume
