White Egg? sacs.

White Egg? sacs.
Brampton, Ontario, Ontario, Canada
June 15, 2013
Size: 1.5" each
I know this is not a bug, but I'm thinking they are insect eggs. I found these hanging on a wall about a foot off the ground. The white sac looks like skin, not spider web. Any help in identifying these would be appreciated. I apologize in advance if it was inappropriate to post here.

Why is this grotesquery still on these pages?
Charlie. You're a good man. Why are these cruel, grotesque pictures being allowed to despoil this otherwise wonderful forum?

 
Slime Mold
It's just slime mold. I don't know what is cruel or overly grotesque about it. It is a good representation of something that is often mistaken for a spider's egg sac. If it were deleted I wouldn't have this to point to for reference the next time someone comes along with a similar image wanting to know what it is.

 
Thank you for not deleting, i
Thank you for not deleting, it has been a huge help.

 
Thank you for not removing it
Thank you for not removing it as it helped me identify something I thought was an egg sac. I don’t understand what is cruel or grotesque.... am I missing something?

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Charlie above:
