Leucogloea compressa
A diminutive example of Fungi Imperfecti, which are fungi for which a sexually reproductive stage of the life cycle has not been found. They are anamorphs and have only an asexual reproductive stage, lacking the teleomorph (fruiting body/sexual reproductive stage). Resembling a slime mold, they form small grayish white cushions on dead hardwood. Sizes ranged from 1-3mm.
Rotting wood in a deciduous forest.
