Unidentified Fungus

This weekend NDM discovered a mystery fungus in her native Illinois plant garden. A cursory Google failed to educate us...perhaps EJB has an idea what the heck this is?

(The answer ended up being stinkhorn,)

Ummm. I think it is an alien fungus from outer space. Probably the Martians upset that we landed on their polar base.

In other words, I have no idea, but it is scary and you should run away. Just to be safe.

I believe I found it--Phallus Rubicundus
For real, check it out on google images.

Does it smell real bad? Kind of looks like a crab in the picture.
