Weird! Could be some strange Slime mould or a Jelly Fungus...

What a funny mystery :)

If you figure out what it is, I'd love to know! :)

Thanks, I saw the same thing a few weeks ago in a different place but without the seeds, it was attached to the rock I thought, I didn't push hard could have froze. Deer were standing by 2min before I walked by this photo, don't know whats red like that this time of year that would make such pretty puke.

I don't think the red is a fungus.. the red looks like the fleshy remnants of a fruit or berry (or maybe a seed casing like you see on magnolia seeds) that either exploded on their own through some process or was chewed up and spit out or pooped out by passing a bird or animal... hard teo tell what the hint of white is - whether its some fuzzy mold or remannts of vomit or bird poop... :/
