I’m unsure if this is Gibellula and am open to other suggestions. Saw something strange in the center of a lichen with some webbing on it.

pipsissewaDescription
Found by chance today inside of a rotten oak burl. Hypocrealean fungi suggested, that is pretty broad though. I brought this beautiful specimen home and can help nurture it to maturity if I'm given instructions on how to do so perhaps. It is suggested that the host is Hypercombe scribonia or similar. The fungus was sprouting from the foot pads it seemed. This was a much welcomed find on a cool winter day today here in Far Southwest Virginia, USA (East Coast). I also shared one photo from within the cavity of the burl that the specimen was in just in case there was further identifying evidence that I did not recognize.
Attempts at keeping in a moist chamber for several days resulted in see maturation but eventually the entire host became compromised by mold

Only the coolest thing I've EVER found ;) First image is as-found, subsequent images show the specimen once it was excavated. I believe the host is some Camponotus sp.

Gathered trays of soil that were taken back to the lab to observe the plants that sprouted. Was surprised to find white stalks growing up out of the soil from a tray we kept in the shade. We were surprised an fascinated to discover this.
