Phallus formosanus
Phallus formosanus, or more commonly witch's hat stinkhorn, is a species of fungus in the stinkhorn family, Phallaceae.
From the article Phallus formosanus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The witch's hat stinkhorn appears with a thick but hollow light rose-pink stem that tapers as it gets closer to the cap. The cap appears in the shape of almost a bell but it flares on the bottom. The cap is deeply pitted similar to Phallus impudicus. It secretes gleba like almost all other stinkhorns which it uses for spore dispersal by attracting insects with a foul odor.
