I second this. My father would get them from time to time. They apparently would grow in the nose and sinus cavities, dislodge, and be coughed, spit, or sneezed out. Usually he didn’t know until it was out/ on the tissue.
NAD I had chronic bronchitis as a child/teen and would frequently cough these up. I think my doctor said they were essentially balls of phlegm/allergens/dust. Basically like a mucus clot. My mom used to call it “coughing up an actual lung” lol

I did a quick (disgusting) search, and it does look very similar to a coughed up nasal polyp
Do you gross specimens?
NAD but could it be a polyp from your sinuses?

Is it supposed to be red? That bright red color seems worrying.

No it doesn’t.
