Ok, I'm stumped!

This "thing" was not on my back fence when I got up this morning. I just went outside to get the mail and noticed this out of the corner of my eye? I magically appeared over the past few hours! What is it? Is it insect related??? Or is it some kind of fungus like a mushroom? I decided not to touch it and just left it alone for now. Here are a few pictures. This thing just appeared at the bottom of my wood fence along my flower bed. Did some sort of Alien hatch out of this thing? Crazy!

I have been getting this stuff in my flower beds on my mulch for a couple of weeks. IT will turn color and die off. I have heard it is a fungus but it looks gross. I had one the other day and it looked like it was bleeding. IT was so gross. Sorry I can't be of more help, this was the first time I ever saw this stuff.

Looks like a fungus, and a lizard and it matches the stain color
of your fence.

Those fungi love heat and humidity. That's probably why those little baby spores grew up so fast.

It is a naturally occuring fungus and is beneficial to the soil. When it starts to die, rack it into the soil.
