Yea, that looks right. It turns out that I already had spotted this same species in the same area. I'd just forgot about it. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/27821047

I saw something like this in another spotting tonight. She identified it as Mycetozoa Slime Mould, Arcyria denudata ...

That's pretty cool. I haven't any fungi quite like this.
