Leocarpus fragilis

Lighthouse Country Trail - Bowser

Also known as Insect-egg Slime Mold, it is a cellular slime mold, classified as an Acrasiomycota.

Scientific classification: There is debate as to where the slime molds should be classified since they share some characteristics with amoebas
and others with fungi. Most often they are classified in the Kingdom Protista with the amoebas, where they form two phyla,
the Myxomycota and the Acrasiomycota. "Slime Molds," Microsoft® Encarta® Online Encyclopedia 2007

However it may be classified it certainly makes a pretty picture with that bright yellow. It was a fine discovery and a good shot!
