Stinkhorn

Description:

Stock was spongy, with the white body and red tip it could be Mutinus ravenelii , but I am no expert. I could be any of Mutinus elegans, M. caninus, & M. ravenelii. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/mutinus_el...

Habitat:

In a garden area

Notes:

"Stinkhorns frequently bewilder people by popping up in lawns, thrusting their slime-covered tips into the world within a matter of hours. They have been much maligned over the years, probably because--well, because they stink and they often look like penises (human, canine, or alien)" http://www.mushroomexpert.com/mutinus_el...
