It looks like something in the family phallaceae to me! I know them as stink horn mushrooms. They get into some pretty wild shapes and they smell dreadful

Here's a picture of one!

Here's another

And here's one to really show you the nasty brown slime

What do they taste like?

Oh god. The brown stuff on the orange one smells exactly like it looks.

The one on the right looks like a Roman dodecahedron

Tolypocladium sp, which grow from an inedible Elaphomyces truffle

Clathrus columnatus perhaps? Def one of the stinkhorns
