I am not a horticulturist but it looks to me like a Triffid, I saw one in a movie once. All I can say is "Beware of the Triffids"

Years ago I was involved in many types of plant form but mainly those of the poisonous variety. This included fungi. The answer is that I knew the form but had to refresh my memory by googling for the actual name.
The amazing fact with regard to the stinkhorn family is that when they first appear they will smell like rotting meat or even poo

Thank you for the info, I am surprised I did not smell anything.
