We found this in our garden in Antigua, all I know is that it smells like rotting flesh and I nearly was sick when I took a whiff :oops:.

Looks to me like a lattice stinkhorn, a form of fungus. They "thrive in warm areas," and they DO stink. Attracting flies is apparently a method of spreading the spores- sort of like pollen being spread by bees.
