I'm not quite sure what this is. Are they eggs of some unknown insect? An old leaf is quite literally covered in these bright orange round to oval objects. I was in the leaf pile shooting a ghost plant when the bright orange caught my eye. It's quite vibrant and really stood out in the old leaf pile I was in.
These are fruiting bodies of a slime mold - see https://wildmacro.com/library/myxos/Insect-egg-slime-mold-Leocarpus-fragilis.html
Well isn’t that just the most interesting thing!! I thought insect egg and wasn’t even close. Thanks Flapdoodle!!
