User's notes
One of two such stalked fungi found within an area of around 2 square metres, with sandy soil and a covering of dirt and leaf litter. The pupal casing was initially found and then a search of the area located the two fungi, both 0.5 m away from the casing and hard to find due to their colour. The fourth image shows the general area and the fifth image how the fungus was found under the leaf litter. The second fungus is covered in previous sighting 4439690. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
