Weird things growing around my hostas

I have these strange looking sprouts growing around my hostas, only two of my five to be exact, I don't know what they are, they almost look like a red, upside-down carrot... Flies love them, I'm not sure if they're hurting my hostas or if it's just something in the mulch but they smell gross... Any ideas?

The pic is too small for me to make out any detail, but they might be some kind of fungi, maybe a type of Stinkhorn. Usually, such growths are harmless, unless you eat them.
