Additional information: Georgia red clay below, at the base of a 20+year old Willow oak tree and near hellibores. Notably, the one that was here died a few months ago. Surrounded by woodchips of unknown origin.

Edit: Thanks to info in another post and some help there, I found it was Deadman's Fingers Stinky Squid (Pseudocolus fusiformis).
