102/366: Super-Cluster of Tiny Mushrooms...I think

102/366: Super-Cluster of Tiny Mushrooms...I think
Back in November, 2012, I discovered this tiny, weird blobby thing on a log and I took a bunch of pictures, hoping it might be interesting once I saw it on the computer. When I looked at the images on my monitor, I could hardly believe my eyes! I have never seen any fungus like this before, nor since. It appears to be dozens and dozens of spaghetti-thin mushrooms, all clinging together...but maybe it's just one odd fungus? I don't think so though. It's certainly fascinating...if you can verify what this is I'd love to know!!

Very interesting Janet.
I was sent a photo of a similar cluster from a good contact friend in Malasia, the 'Unknown were Red' I was asked if I could tell her what they were, Not Fungi, but the eggs of the 'Apple snail'.

Apple snails originated in South America but nowadays can be found more or less anywhere provided conditions are ok, they invaded U S A via Florida.

Pomacea canaliculata, common name the channeled applesnail, is a species of large freshwater snail with gills and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae, the apple snails. South American in origin, this species is considered to be in the top 100 of the "World's Worst Invasive Alien Species".

Janet, I've just left a message on your FB page. I think they may be Enoki mushrooms. Have a Google and see what you think. Awesome image whatever they are
