Appears and then disappears at random times. Type of fungi? Google draws a blank.

Possibly horsehair worms: http://entoweb.okstate.edu/ddd/insects/ ... rworms.htm

ETA: I didn't spot the black bits - are those part of them? Not just plant stamens which have fallen off?

It looks like a pleated ink cap type of shroom to me. They pop out the ground quickly, then dissolve in less than an hour. Touch the black bit and see if it leaves an inky residue.
How about not having a sig at all?

Is that how the film of "The Thing" started?

So you own a flamethrower, by any chance?
