some kind of fungus, it looks really cool! if you’re worried about it harming your plants i’d grab a shovel and scoop all the soil in that area somewhere far away, then refill the hole w garden soil. since fungi grow and reproduce from their mycelia (root-like structures) if you leave any behind it could grow back

That looks really creepy and parasitic 🙈

An online image search came up with Fulgio Septicai (Planta wouldn’t let me post its common name…). Says its not harmful to your plants, and gives you ways to remove it.
