I have a query on identifying the following mushroom type via the
photo, it has unfortunately fallen over as you can see the green
head or cap on the ground in the photo image.

The mushroom? was standing tall last night but this morning it
appeared to be damaged or perhaps eaten. It smells very strongly
of honey but not sure if this particular mushroom will or can
effect other plants trees etc, any help gratefully received.

Regards,

Stephen.

It looks like a stinkhorn to me too, they are such weird looking mushrooms and they are disgusting and often smell. If you look at more images on google you will be shocked out what they resemble! Fungi like acid soil - so applying lime might help to get rid of them.
