I certainly am no expert in such things, except to the extent that I have collected a few of the cousins of this organism for gastronomic pleasure.

I hope we get another update photo or two.

Clearly a fungus. From the first photo I thought ?slime mold? But from the second picture it looks like a morel, which is a type of sac fungi. Because of the small cap, I am JUST GUESSING:

Ascomycetes > Discomycetes > Pezizales > Morchellaceae > Morchella

Morchella semilibera

Here are two key references:
