Damaged find -stinkhorn ?

[violaceus]

Walking in mixed woodland today came across what I think was a stinkhorn 'egg'. Someone had trodden on it and the skin (similar to a boiled egg when you have taken the shell off!) was split. Inside was a yellowy glutinous ball, no smell that i could detect. It was growing in leaf litter close to a large branch which had fallen from the nearby oak tree.

That sounds like a good description of a stinkhorn "egg".
