Default What the Heck is this? Fungus?
It's been a rainy, humid summer in South Florida. After 4 day of continuous rain I discovered this on a small phalaenopsis. Does anyone have any idea what it is? I'm thinking some kind of fungus maybe related to a mushroom.

White secretion covering the eggs gave the impression of a bird dropping.
Possible Reduviidae eggs.

No, it's something that's growing.

OMG


Remove and destroy the plant in order to avoid the spreading of the pathogens to healthy plants.

It should wipe off and then use a little alcohol on the area.

Looks like a slime mold to me. If so, they are not pathogenic to plants.

Cinnamon will kill slime mold. Wipe it off, and spray with a cinnamon "tea".
