    Well sometime said someone elses might be a Scoly or something with a C and when I looked them up, mine looked similar to these, at least to my novice eye but now I can tell they aren't the same.

    Yep as everyone has said - def mushrooms. The nobbly bits on it would lead me to suggest they are rhodactis mushrooms and not discosoma.
