Field Notes

Description:

Most of these colorful, fleshy fungi are saprophytes, taking their nutrients from decaying material; some from the roots of living trees. Coril fungi are gill-less, producing sporres on the surface of their branches, or in unbranched species, on most of the outside surface.

Hi doreen.chambers.14! Interesting spotting! Regarding this spotting and others belonging to the mission you've created, Nonflowering Plants of the NorthEastern US: fungi are actually not considered to be plants anymore, and belong to a separate kingdom.
