Stinkhorn with Cheeto smell, probably didn't smell as badly as I heard because most of the brown slime was gone by this time.

By the way, my parents were from Iowa and went to college in Iowa City long ago. My dad from Montrose, mom from Des Moines.
Hey! It does look a little like a cheeto! I'll save the next one for you cause I'm scared to taste it! Specially with all the flies on it!
Neat-looking mushroom. It looked AND smelled like Cheetos? Maybe it tasted like Cheetos too; you should have tried it.. Haha!
