Though after a little Googling, it seems to be a red cage or basket fungus.

I dunno, it doesn't look like either (the loops are way too big). Maybe dig it up and take it to a local agriculture extension office?

That looks pretty cool actually. Id let it grow and see what happens.

I'm guessing that's not chocolate on the inside.

Yup. That is a stinkhorn or Red Basket fungus.

Don't let it touch your skin! It will penetrate your skin and take root. Before you know it you'll be all red and stinky!

That's amazing. Looks like it'd be growing teeth any moment...

Or you could let it soak into your skin all over and you'd be cool like Venom!
