Fungus on a dead tree

I took this photo several years ago in the Arboretum. I am not sure if this growth is a slime mould or not. I was struck by the silvery colour and the blueish tinge to the dead wood.

We do encounter strange forms of mushrooms at time. V

They look so smooth and almost hard like marbles. Love them against the textured bark. V.

even at this stage the tree must retain some nutrient value...certainly an attractive image..
