There were three other kinds of mushrooms growing on the same tree.

Interesting spot, Sarah!
Thanks for ID help chesterbperry and Parker V.
Too large to be Lycogala epidendrum. Lycoperdon pyriforme looks like a match but the species has been moved to the genus Morganella.
compare to Lycoperdon pyriforme
No. I think I'm going to become a much better observer because of your questions! :)
Kind of looks like Lycogala epidendrum, did you poke one?
