That is very odd. Where do you live? (enviorment?)

Orange frosting, chocolate, and a cheeto or something.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?

Hello,
well unfortunately it was the only one of his kind. I was sorry as soon as I had been taking it out of the soil, I should have think more at that time 
there are only 4 kind of mushrooms that I now growing on my garden, a sort of "bolet" Xerocomus chrysenteron that is huge (halk a kilogramm) and commestible but not good at taste, two kinds of little whited cap mushrooms that look like hallucinogen mushrooms (never tried), and finally this orange-brown one..
I live in la Réunion island (Indian Ocean) and it is summer here, it's quite hot and the humidity level is high. the mushroom was growing close to an Aloe in a shadowed area. I have taken a few shots of him, but only some of them are nice. Her is one.

thanks
FS

the phallales mushrroms is a group of fungi, very extrange This group of fungi is very interesting and attractive by its shining and showy colors. Ecologically speaking they use a strategy type flower ("fúngicas Flowers") to disperse and to perpetuate the species; they use exotic forms with showy colors, strong scents (very strong, in addition disagreeable) and sweet flavors in the gelatinous place where they are propágulos(spores) and in the place where are the spores (glebífero and gleba) so that the legs and/or body of the dispersion agent stick to (flies, escarabajos, aphids, molusc, etc).. Thus, the purpose is to mainly call the attention to the senses of the insects with which they are related ecologica and evolutionarily. 2. Most of the faláceos they produce his basidiomas in the apex of a structure in rhizomorfo denominated less heavy cord form but or. This rizomorfo is a complex structure that it protects to micelio of the adverse conditions of the enviroment, is a structure of specialization of micelio and allows that it invades the substrate of his habitat growing in length. In my experience I know a rizomorfo Laternea pusilla of but of 11 meters in length being developed in the ground of the forest mesófilo near Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. We have even found that the rizomorfo of Laternea pusilla gets to rise the trunks of alive trees until meter and means of height, and I really do not explain why of that activity The Faláceos and Man 1, the strange forms that these fungi characterize are bound to beliefs of the people who observe them or who discover them in their habitat. Thus it is the case of Clathrus of ruber that some local newspaper denominated "killer fungus" then according to the reporter assassinated the flies and was bound to some type of witchcraft, is known him like "the flower of the toad". Clathrus to ruber 2. It is common to associate to diverse species of Phallus and Dictyophora like promoters of the sexual power but that nothing by the association of its form with the one of the masculine viril member, Dictyophora is even cultivated artificially in Asia with commercial aims, I have had the opportunity to have in my hands some package of "dehydrated dictioforas", nevertheless does not exist evidence some until now that sustains this belief. http://www.uv.mx/institutos/forest/hongos/phallales2/falos2b.html http://micologia.net/g3/Orden-Phallales http://www.mushroomexpert.com/phallales.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallales http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0040-9618(188003)7%3A3<30%3ACBTOOT>2.0.CO%3B2-9 http://www.mushroomexpert.com/stinkhorn_fame.html http://images.google.com/images?q=Lysurus&ndsp=20&svnum=10&hl=es&start=0&sa=N
so your mushroom is inthe genus lysurus sp.. consult local guide this mushrooms are not so commond and you may find a rare species also the reproduction cilce is not well understood and are not so coomnon , have a nice day . all my best...

cactu got there first. That's a stinkhorn, just one that's very unfamiliar to those of us in North America. The stuff that looks like chocolate is the goo with the spores.
You also say above that you have Xerocomus chrysenteron growing there, but describe it as being large (half a kilogram). X. chrysenteron is small (only up to 8 cm across), so you have a different species. I don't have any references for the tropical boletes, so I can't help you much with an ID there. You should seek out a reference specific to your area.
Happy mushrooming!

stinkhorns are some of the most interesting looking, and worst smelling things on this planet.
I picked one just to look at it one day, and had to wash my hands just from handling the stalk.

i love stink horns. except for the stink. i recently found a patch of them growing in woodchips. stinky, but fun to look at.
after i read deity208's post, i was pretty conviced you had made the cap out of icing, and the stem out of some other kind of snack. It really looks like it from that picture.
That is one cool mushroom though. fungus
