We have these all over the oak wood outside our home. I have not been able to find out what it is. They only seem to be on the oak that is on the ground.

Millipedes

Hi Brandi,
These are Millipedes that feed on decaying organic matter and possibly the fungus that grows on decaying wood.  We believe we have identified them as Brachycybe rosea based on BugGuide.
