Waking up i found in the back of mouth a slimmy/gummy (liver-like)thing made of blood (2mm long), but no sign i had a nosebleed. what could it be?

Bloody mucus: First thought is that it's blood mixed with mucus. Sometimes people can have a little bit of bleeding in back of nose and throat, especially if they're sick with a upper respiratory infection.
