Hi Celine, I have removed this awesome spotting from the 'Marine Mammals of the world' Mission !
Thank you Alex for your help, i'll put more photos on next time !
it doesn't look like an actual mushroom/toadstool, from this picture i would say, this could be a plasmodial slime mold / fruitings body from, Tubifera ferruginosa (raspberry slime mold) ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&cp=20&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=raspberry+slime+mold&safe=off&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1264&bih=596&wrapid=tljp132371240526900&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=qT_mTtOEE8vrOars0dUE ). No longer belonging to the "kingdom" "fungi", they are "Amoebozoas" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold ) , ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubifera ) , nice to see the next time maybe if possible 2-3 more pictures. Nice spot, i sit to wait for them to appear again.
