Egg-like fungus


This is amazing!  It is the volva or immature fruiting body of a fungus.  The recognisable stem and cap are encased in this gelatinous material, and they are usually found just below the ground.  This was found in an area where I have found stinkhorns previously, so I think it must be the same species, Phallus impudicus
