      Thanks! It definitely resembles beans, haha! My first thought was brains though...Or, melted hot dogs. Posted 6 years ago

    It reminds of Arcyria more than Lycogla. Did you happen to notice if these were on short stalks? Posted 6 years ago

      They did have short stalks. I agree with you, but I got a suggestion on mushroom observer that it could be Lycogala, so I added that into the description for completeness. Thanks for the confirmation though, I will update the post :) Posted 6 years ago

        I tend to lean towards Gary's ID as well, but I'm definitely no slime mold expert! Posted 6 years ago
