Found these on a dead, still standing pine tree, that has lost most of its bark. Initially I found the two pictured together. A few days later, they were gone and the white one pictured above was located a few inches from where the initial ones were.
The second photo, was the next day, the surface has started to smooth out, just overnight. I will add another picture of it today, so I can document the changes.

I have absolutely no idea what this could be. It was egg-like, bright pink, a long, hard oval with a curve. I didn’t want to disturb it so I only moved it a bit. It was nestled within the tree and was not moving. Thought maybe it was a bird egg??

rolandwirthDescription
Maybe a Trentepohlia? It seemed very coarse - stiff compared to other more hairlike Trentepohlia(s) found in the area. Found during dry weather on rocks in muskeg at around 1,000 ft elevation. It was peeling off the rock with a skin like membrane where it contacted the rock.
Another interesting, seemingly contradictory to the Trentepohlia idea, is the fact that this is growing on the SSE face of an exposed boulder which would experience considerable sunny drying conditions. The Trentepohlias in this area usually seem restricted to dark shady north facing habitats it seems?

iNat is suggesting slime molds, which was my first thought too. But it didn't release spores when touched, and though it felt velvety, it was more firm than a slime would be.

I always find these under the loose bark of large, rotting oak logs, and have been seeing them since 2015, but this is the first time I've managed to find the immature forms.
Same as these:

Photos 5-9 were taken the next day, 4 Aug 2024.
They seem to have in common with Certiomyxa, while in the younger white form, the tiny hairs with the glob on the end, which I assume are spores: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/235342241

I forgot to post this before, I genuinely don't have even the faintest clue what this could be. I don't even know if it is alive. It wasn't very big, maybe the size of my thumb, maybe a bit smaller

Blue spots on dried brown leaves of what we think are autumn olive. Was it a blight or fungus or perhaps an herbicide? We did find non-dried up autumn olive in a different part of the meadow.

some children told me they were frog eggs. I believe they may be fish eggs of some type since they were taken out of the lake.
