Notes Identified by Terry Taylor. Returning next day to watch this slime mold develop so it could be better identified, it now looked like small yellow/orange beads. Some websites give the vernacular name of eggshell slime mold or insect egg slime mold. Close-up image of the beads/eggshells (Day 2)
