I found this on the Northern side of my yard where it doesn't get much Sun. Any idea what this is.  The stem is a hollow.  Thanks in advance.

It looks like some photos of Phallus impudicus, the Common Stinkhorn.  The cap is usually pitted and covered with smelly slime, but maybe this one is a young one washed by rain.  If it's a stinkhorn, the base should have a skirt around it.  Did you see a cup-like skirt?

I’m not an expert, but since it’s growing in a shady area and has a hollow stem, it might be something like a Psathyrella (brittlestem) or another moisture-loving species that pops up in low-light spots.

That said, mushrooms can look very similar, so it’s hard to be sure without more details or a clear photo. You might want to try using a mushroom identification app like mushrooms Identifier App—it can give you a quick idea based on an image.

Also, just a heads up—always avoid touching or eating unknown mushrooms until you’re 100% sure of the ID 👍

MushroomGuru's ID looks very solid.  It's definitely a stinkhorn and looks nothing like any Psathyrella.
