Some sort of sooty mold, growing on oak, wintergreen, muscadine, and pine

Found on the bark of a tree after a rainy day, there was another area that had 1 of these by itself. Not sure if it’s a slime mold or something else.

have seen many of these in my plants.

Inside the break of a fallen tree.

Forms very thin encrustations up to approx. 5 cm across. Lacks spicules. Collected (Stn. NM 411) and identified by Dr. Bruce Ott. Likely is an undescribed species. Deposited in the RBCM.

tentative

Maybe a pox? 3rd day seen here. Eyes mostly shut at this point, sometimes with a nut to eat. Can’t see me approach but can hear me. Fur is very shaggy like there are lumps underneath

Found in raised garden bed, shaded by artichoke.

I have no idea what kind of tree this is, but I think it’s interesting how it managed to grow all the way to the top of this old silo!
