Stemonitis sp.
Chocolate colored fungus with an average height of 0.25 of an inch . The upper part shaped like a hotdog and the lower part is black hairlike filament. Remind me of a hotdog on a stick or an incense . They grow in group and composed of several clusters.
Grows on dry places like rotten dry woods and other organic matters.

Yes not fungi. Similar to Stemonitis axifera. I will change the category to other.
I agree with Christine. This is a slime mold in the Stemonitis genus.

Nice shots! It looks like a species of Stemonitis (Chocolate Tube Slime).
