Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Wow! So beautiful and amazing that you got a shot of it emerging
Hi 24lisysyank! I don't think this is Lycogala, but it does appear at least from this distance to be a slime mold. Lycogala form small spherical fruiting bodies on the wood. Closer photos could help further narrow it down. Technically slime molds are not fungi (even though they deceivingly have mold in the name) and belong in the "other" category on Project Noah.

As for your spotting, many mushrooms require a shot of the gills and potentially other information to successfully identify. Older specimens like this are also a bit of a challenge. If you are interested in mushroom identification, I would encourage you to check out this page written by a mycologist with a great mushroom identification website: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/studying.h...
