Looks like a flower.

Yes ForestDragon. It is an awesome stinkhorn.

Se encuentra generalemente en suelos húmedos con alto contenido de materia orgánica. http://zamo-oti-02.zamorano.edu/tesis_infolib/2005/T2182.pdf

That is what I thought when I saw it also, ForestDragon. Very nice spotting, MarciaMonserrathVacaMontalvo.

This reminds me of a stinkhorn fungus. Did it smell bad?

Wow! Such a cool fungus! Do you have any more shots of it? These are usually very short lived, looks like you caught it at its peak.
