"pin mold" is a common name for "pin-like mold", the same as "honey mushroom" the common name is, for both armillaria species: mellea,solidipes. therefore pin mold (mould) would be generel right. Spinellus fusiger is also a similiar "pin mold" but with black pins and on "mycenas"/bonnets. pin mold are zygomycota ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomycete ). Without micro-analyse or some special feature (special host), is "pin mould" maybe the closest, it get. !!! good luck

It does look like Pin Mold, just trying to find exact species, but at least you gave me a common name. :)
