Look what I found growing in the yard

Anybody know what it is? Fungi recognition is not one of my skills so I'm hoping somebody can tell me what it is and what, if anything, Ted has to do to get rid of it!
Maybe it's an alien life form, dormant in the soil for millenniums, and brought back to life by the lightning of last night.

Yes, Grandmommy is right - here is another link to prove it:

As luck would have it, you have discovered a "slime mold" or fungus aptly nicknamed "dog stinkhorns". Go to this link and scroll down a bit where you will see it for yourself.
