(CROSTPOSTED TO ANOTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM)

Just his last week I've seen in both my own and a friend's garden a
nasty mushroom/fungus - about 4" across - that has a stalk but looks
like brains or tripe. Fairly gross anyway. Anyone recognise it from my
description ?

I'm always in a dilemma about fungus. Do you leave them be ? Dig them in
? Remove and compost ? Remove and bin ?

Anyone out there with expertise in these matters ?

Looks like brains or tripe? Have you considered that it might be a morel?
Don't eat any until you're completely sure and have checked the ID, as some
other species have been mistaken for a morel and are very poisonous... Look
here for a start.

I would personally just leave it be. But then I'm a mycophile
