I initially thought this was Hydnophlebia chrysorhiza (bright rhizomorphs), but the "eggy" pores give this species away.

That's the first space shuttle orbiter Enterprise (though it never made it to space exactly), which was stored in Mobile before being brought to New Orleans for the 1984 world's fair the following spring. The observation is for the photo with the grass, but I added the two other photos for posterity :)

Growing under/between Trichaptum biforme mushrooms on large dead Northern red oak in woodland ridge. There were a few other large dead red oaks near by, presumably killed by oak wilt.
Reminds me of ozonium from Coprinellus but more coarse and cord-like.
The name should be called "Bracket Beard"

zebakersDescription
Growing on privet. Surrounded by Stereum complicatum. Perhaps this is young S. complicatum clumped and coming out of defect in bark? Unsure, never seen this morphology before
