Is it a mouse's  tail? (Arisarum proboscideum (Mouse plant))

Unfortunately the flowers are hidden beneath the leaves, move it out of the way and..... Is it a mouse?

Not this one Dd, it enlarges as does the pink Dicentra, not like some of the larger tricky Arums. It is not showy, the flowers are tiny and hidden, a bit of a joke!
