    Can you identify this?

    I couldn't find a subforum suitable for this so i'm posting here.

    We had storms last night with heavy rain. This is a section of a dead limb that fell from a very large Pinoak in my back yard.
    It appears to me to be a species of fungus
    Can anyone identify it? The diameter of the sample is perhaps slightly more than 1"

    Looks like what some called slime molds during my college years. I think slime molds are actually a different type of fungus than this.

    Google > gelatinous fungus < and click on images. You will see a few like it.
