Hard to say, the cap is a bit deformed. Please remember to do a location check:

This pretty much rules out the species. Posted 3 years ago

  It doesn't look like a stinkhorn to me. I'm not sure if it's a bolete or gilled mushroom, but suspect gilled (Order Agaricales > Family Amanitaceae). It reminds me of a deformed Amanita sp. mushroom infected with Hypomyces hyalinus, but I don't think that is found in Malaysia. Posted 3 years ago

    Through some local help, this is narrowed down to Termitomyces heimii.
