I agree it's a mushroom, and a stinkhorn (a member of the Phallaceae family). I think it's Mutinus ravenelli.

Mutinus elegans, a mushroom from the Midwest, also known as stink-horn. Nasty, smelly (like rotten meat) that draws flies. Ugh!

It looks like some kind of fungus.

Cool! Thanks, I learned something new today. Love all you really smart plant people. 😍

I agree, it is amazing the things you can learn from the smart people here at Hometalk! I thought I had seen a lot of mushrooms before, but this one takes the cake. At first I thought it was a muti-legged sock monkey!

😂

I looked at that and I thought "YUCK ! What is that?"

Now I know it is just a mushroom but WOW it is strange!

i thought it was a sock monkey at first ! LOL. That’s without my glasses.

I have been gardening for a very long time and I have never seen a plant like that. Wow.
