Clathrus columnatus
The white part is found underground just under the surface. The red part comes out of the white part. These appear after heavy rain and then quickly disappears.
Small farm.
The white part tends to be mushy.

Thank you!
I can't make out which of the species of Clathrus it is, but it is a Stinkhorn. Here is a link to the list of Clathrus species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrus
Probably you can detect which one is it as you have seen it better.
