Elegant Stinkhorn Mushroom

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Spotted this orange mushroom on my hike back from Lake Frederick in the woods between the lake and our homes on Oatgrass Court.
About six inches high with open end - note the flies on it.
After looking it up, it's non-poisonous and is good for the soil. 1st one I've seen in these woods.

Wow, I would never have guessed. It looks like a carrot that lost its way!
