How do I get rid of a fungus in the soil outside? They are red stalk with black tops and egg like sacks?

Question

I live in PA and I recently saw these egg looking things buried in the ground. They bloom into red stalks with black tops and then die within a day or two. I can't seem to get rid of them and I have tried to dig them up. Any suggestions?
