Yes, it's a mushroom, and most of its growth stages are very inconspicuous. However, this stage of the fungus is very visible, as you noticed. Its species name is gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae, and Tom Volk did a page on it in his Fungus of the Month series, way back in 1999: http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/may99.html
Nice find!
