With the summer we have had here in the East, all kinds of Mushrooms have been popping up on the property, it has been a few years since I saw Stinkhorns on my brush pile, but today I saw this "ribbon/taffy" like fungi growing along a stretch where Spaghum Moss meets some other type, the fungi seems to run along the border area for about 20 feet on and off...........
Also added another one growing amongst the taffy finger type, may be related or may be some type of coral mushroom........

Not 100% sure, but, that big one looks to be a textbook case of the rare fungi known as phallus erectus :tongue3: :laughing9: :laughing7:
 

First group of fungi are similar to Otidea sps. The last photo looks like a Ramaria sps., but that's just off the top of my head.

The stickhorns (scientific name Phallus impudicus and others) looks, uh, different.
