Unknown Crust Fungus

I picked up this chunk of really wet, rotting wood because it was blue (from Chlorociboria sp.), and when I turned it over, I found it to be covered with a purple crust fungus. I have no idea what it is.

Habitat: Rotting wood (probably a conifer) in a mixed forest

  And, it was more purple in person than this photo indicates! I got a suggestion on MO that it could be a slime mold. Posted 1 hrs ago, modified 1 hrs ago
