    Help,

    This is growing in the crawl space of my house in Redwood City, CA.

    The crawl space seems dry and does not smell damp but this looks like a fungus. There are 3 of these "branches".

    Ideas?

    Possibly a puffball.

    I'd bet its a Wood Ear (Auricularia auricula), grows on wood
