a macro photo stack of a slime mould, tiny yellow balls hanging from a dead tree branch by white strands thinner than a human hair.

   Look What I Found Hanging Around in the Woods....

   I suspect this is Badhamia utricularis, a species of slime mould in the family Physaraceae on a dead limb, most likely from an oak tree..

   To give you some idea of scale, each of those yellow globules is less than 1 millimetre diameter. This is a 20 shot photo stack to get enough depth of field.
