Stinkhorn
No, this is not a morel.
These mushrooms come up in people’s gardens in the spring. They emerge from a purple fuzzy egg into a phallic form that has a sticky green spore mass oozing at the top. Most stinkhorns are putrid, but this one just smells strange. I have never seen them washed, but Marianne thought they might be morels and I can see the resemblance, but NO! I have read that they purple eggs are edible, but you go feat them first and post how they taste! Fascinating mushroom
