Dog shit on my boot... or stinkhorn??

Did I step in dog shit or some other decaying stinkhorn? I'm reading that Clathrus ruber can be abundant in the SF Bay Area but only at a few locations. Anybody else seen these?

I don't really understand the question? That is definitely Clathrus ruber. Very pretty mushroom, I love looking at them. They call it "witch's heart" in my country.

If you're talking about the random piles of what looks like dog shit throughout the forest right about now, it could just be some very very decayed mushrooms. I accidentally kneeled in one when collecting hedgehogs the other day and was relieved to realize it was a mushroom and not dog shit....still looked like shit though haha

Yesterday I saw what I thought was a decaying mushroom underneath some shrubs. It was a pile of reeking dog poop. No, I didn't take a picture.

My wife took a pic of shit a couple weeks ago. In her defense it was almost white and kinda fuzzy. But clearly a turd.

I've mistaken shit for mushrooms on several occasions and have caught myself about to grab a pile of poop at least once or twice.

I've never grabbed it. But I remember a member on here posting an id request where he thought a piece of sheep manure on a straw was a lib.

So in short she knew it was a turd and still took a pic? Kinda kinky, eh?

I've come across these a lot of time in mulch of a Drs office they'll stink up an area of conservatively 30ft x 30ft . I had read they'll eat these in Asia they must be hard up or its acquired taste. Yikes
Edit ; The alien looking mushroom not the dogturd one.

I actually just found some of this growing across the street from my house and am thinking of dyeing some wool with it. Anyone got any tips on mushroom dyeing?

One of my very first finds this fall. Can you guess who this is?
No good advice from me other than "use gloves" and "maybe flip it with a stick first".
