Lycogala epidendrum
Wolf's-milk Slime Frontenac Provincial Park 27 May 2006
Just to give you an idea of how difficult identification of mushrooms can be - I checked five guides and found this mushroom in only one guide, even though that guide listed it as widely distributed in North America.
So that's what this fungus is called. I found this awhile back growing on a downed pine tree, photographed it but was unable to id it. Looks like you did it for me. Thanks!

Calls some content to travel with the winds,
Though what the stars ask as they round
Time upon time the towers of the skies
Is heard but little till the stars go out." Dylan Thomas

That is a slime mold; it is not actually a mushroom or a fungus, which is why it did not show up in the guides.
