Any ideas cause I got no clue. Its about as big as a quarter and slimey. I'm thinking some sort of slug but I've been outdoors more then indoors my whole life and never seen anything like this.

I looked it up online, googled it.

These woody galls usually are ½ to 2 inches in diameter. In early April, galls swell and produce orange, one-inch long, gelatinous tendrils" That's some find! twitter: @MSPbass Neal Junior Member Joined 02/08/2010 Posts:128 Neal's blogs, pictures and recent posts Daily Subscription Msg 4 Posted: 02:43 PM 05/11/11 (CST) Thanks guys It was a pretty amazing little spore. I tried to preserve it but it dried out and didn't look nearly as cool. At least I got a few pics. anyone know what this is? - - - 4 messages. Showing 1 through 4.
