Please, check myxomicetes (imperfect fungi). Sometimes they produce similar
fruiting bodies with different bright colors.

Could someone please help identify the object shown at
http://www.seanet.com/~pmar/P1010452a.JPG
It's an isolated specimen found recently on one of the San Juan Islands
in Washington State (USA). It was on rotting wood at the base of a fir
tree.
The red "balls" are about 1/8-inch in size. The pic shows small pine
needles for comparison.
Can't find it in the fungus books; maybe it's a lichen or something's
eggs?
Thanks for your help?
Pete
