This came up in a bed last year. This year it has turned up in my stone path. It is orangy in color with what looks like soil on the top part. It is spongy and moist and smells very, very foul. Hope it ok to post it in this forum.

Looks (and apparently smells) like one of the "Stinkhorn" funguses. Laughing
