I found this fungus growing in my yard. Is this a mushroom or a toadstool? Is it poisonous? I’ve had them appear before and I’ve always wondered what they were.
They stink, literally. The odor is quite offensive. This one has attracted two flies and a beetle. As for how they look, well they’re not exactly pretty. If anyone knows anything about them, please leave a comment. Thanks š
Another Day to Remember 
It most certainly is Mutinus elegans commonly known as dog stinkhorn or headless stinkhorn.
