Is it suppose to look like that? I strained it through a nylon micron filter bag and there was no pulp. UNLESS.. When I racked off the raisins it I didn't strain it
So your saying that you have already racked the wine off the pumpkin, and that mass formed in the liquid only?
It may be a krausen from the yeast and fermentation. It doesn't look like any kind of infection I have seen. I would say just give it some time and see what happens.

Ah!!!! It's Alive!!!! Kill It! Kill It!!!!!
I wonder if it got some sort of wild yeast in it, and started fermenting again, and formed some sort of weird krausen going on.
I second CB's opinion, let it go and see what happens. Maybe add a blow off tube judging from what seems to be happening. Keep us posted.
