Hypoxylon fragiforme
Brick red to brown fruiting bodies that looked like petrified raspberries. They were 3-5 mm in size. Most had bumps on the surface - the bumps are the openings of structures called perithecia, which are embedded just below the surface. The perithecia form ascospores. The interior flesh was black.
Growing on a fallen tree in a mixed forest with lots of pine.
