Brenda pointed these out to me yesterday evening. They are in a wooded area of our backyard, at the base of a Maple tree. It’s been raining and yesterday was the most humid day I’ve seen this summer (75% — not at all high for most NC summers).
They are mushrooms of some variety, but I have never seen something like this before.
So you know what it is?

That is it and I was beaten to it! It looks like a Fringed Earthstar. The other earthstars do not have arms that curl under and they are found throughout the Eastern US.
