Tiny fungi on a fallen Coast Live Oak
These tiny yellow "chiclets" don't look too different from the Slime Molds I show two photos back, but I believe they are fungi. I don't know what kind. For one reason, they were here a couple of weeks ago, and slime molds don't usually last that long. (Though the ones I've been calling Diderma effusum do last quite some time.) For another reason, they are all different sizes, and slime molds are usually all the same size when they get around to fruiting. These are growing on a fallen Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae) on the ground. (San Marcos Pass, 6 February 2017)
