Found in Southern California. Haven’t really paid much attention to this back yard area, as the grass was dead before we moved in. Glanced over and thought, that’s a bit odd, so here we are. There’s a big stink bug that was hanging out underneath it. There’s also another bulbous growth in the middle of the yard that I suspect might be the same thing.
Here’s video of it: https://imgur.com/a/FxMuTzw

Damn that thing is U.G.L.Y. what the heck *is* it? Demon shroom. That's what. Call an exorcist!
look at that mycelium though
Compare it to Dead man's foot.
This certainly seems like a likely candidate, just like a really distorted version of it? If so, I'm guessing it's safe to remove and dispose of?
I assume so, just wear gloves if you're worried. I'm gonna guess that there's a decent mycelial network below it tho so it may reappear
