Wolf's Milk

Lycogala epidendrum

Description:

Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk, groening's slime is a cosmopolitan species of plasmodial slime mold which is often mistaken for a fungus. The aethalia, or fruiting bodies, occur either scattered or in groups on damp rotten wood, especially on large logs.

Notes:

Does anyone know what these are? I found them growing on some wooden poles on the side of the road.
