What Causes Bump On Tongue?

I am an adult 58 year old woman and when I googled bleeding tongue bump you popped up. I was perfectly fine. After eating trail mix, bumps formed on my tongue. When I put my finger on the bump there was blood. When I looked in the mirror there is a large lump, long piece of what looked like mucus. i lifted it. It is connected to bump with blood on each side bubbling up.
