Looks like fungus, and larvae, or "eggs". Something is getting ready to invade the shit out of your compost.
Nothing to worry about.

The fungus pictured has primordial formations of mushrooms that will pin and "bloom" if conditions become proper....Not likely a problem at all.

The "eggs" in the pic I believe are the mushrooms they are going yellow then brown, the fluffy stuff to the left is every where. Its on a peanut shell in the pic, it must be some kind of decomposer because is on all the raw/fresher material in the bin.
How can I identify what it is? The mushrooms are 2 mm across.

baja; no worries. If it was me I'd turn it in.

Exelent link microbeman, still at the cutting edge I see. That site is a Instant book mark for me, I wish it was in thumbnail form though.
I was hoping I could use it for something, so far I can tell its a wood decomposer. And it may be feeding on my bacteria. So maybe to get organic matter into my soil faster?

Baja; I wished for the same or searcheable. I tried cross referencing with some fungi typical to compost but no cigar.

From info in the link MM put up, plus its attaching it self to the peanut shells so I think its after cellulose.
Wondering if this will decompose a down old treeits to the stage were the wood is crumbleing but you can still tell its wood. How do I propagate such a fungi?

Awesome picture by the way. Who would have thunk that decomposing shit would be so cool! 
Nature is awesome.
