Trichocoma paradoxa
A saprophytic fungus which starts off as as fuzzy white/yellow mass, the fruiting/spore-bearing bodies develop as long brown "hairs" - giving this fungus its name. Lightly brushing the hairs of this fungus releases the spores. Found on old trees and dead rotting logs - actually quite common though not often seen unless you know where to look.
From Wikipedia: Trichocoma is a genus of fungus in the Trichocomaceae family. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Trichocoma paradoxa, widespread in tropical regions

Hi!
For 8 years your post (photo and description) had to wait, but now this was my only help on the whole net to ID my spotting from Hungary, I have already shared with downloadable kmz file for Google Earth here:

Later I will do a try to share also here. Should I do it joining the 'Shroom Mission?
Thanks for the help (if you happen to be still around)!
