Amazing picture, but what's wolfs milk?
thanks for the correction
Hey Sarah, these are a slime mold not a fungus.
They were pretty small. My son brought them to me on a chunk of decaying wood. Thank you for the id.
Did you have an opinion on the park service's id for this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/808...
Nice finding sarah,how big where the balls?they where in a trunk,rigth?if they are tiny,arround 1cm,max,in that case it should be the Wolf milk , Lycogala epidendrum
