| | | Unidentified possible fungus
I wonder if anyone here can identify what this could be. It's partly buried in my garden soil in Scotland, about the size of a fist, contains a white "thing" that looks like it could be a growing creature which is hard when poked gently and it is surrounded by a strong gelatinous coating. The coating is actually only exposed because a soft-creamy white outer casing has partly come off.
It's near to a hydrangea and a rose hip.
eek....
I don't want to harm it if it is a living thing but I am very very scared to leave it, in case it gets up and climbs in through my bedroom window tonight...  |

OMG. Will it really stink badly? I'm not the best gardener in the world and stuff hardly ever grows in my garden, but we had a lot of rain here recently - 3 times the usual average, so I assume this guy has popped up because of the wet conditions. I'm surprised that anything has grown here...
Thanks very much for your help! | | |
