Definitely a unique spotting! At first I almost flagged you because I thought it was an oreo! ;) I commend you for having a spotting of a nifty fungus and not an oreo. Keep them coming!

Hello, Erik. Welcome to Project Noah. This is such a cool spotting (rather looks like a new Hostess treat); I've never seen, or heard of, this fungus. Thanks for sharing.
