Orange mystery

Bonsoir tousI have come across this unfamiliar orange fungus; it is associated with a hyphal weft on the short 'stem' of a Pinus cone. At first glance one might suspect something nectriaceous given the colour
Key features are:
*globose bodies, c200µm diameter, covered with short (mostly capitate) projections
*scant evidence of a surrounding wall
*no asci formed
*golden conidia (?) which clearly give the fungus its colour; these average 12 x 8.5µm
I vae been assuming it is the anamorph of an ascomycete, but am now wondering whether it could have phycomycetous affinities
any suggestions very welcome
amitiés
Chris

Re : Orange mystery
Hi Chris,
No one seems to be taking a guess at this one, so it's obviously a little off the beaten path. Other than the spores, I don't see any cellular structures. The "setae" seem to be solid and without any sort of lumen. Can you make out any peridial structures that might be cellular? Are there any immature ones that might offer a lead such as conidiogenous cells? Perhaps it is not a fungus at all; maybe a slime mould or even some sort of animal structure.

Re : Orange mystery
I do not know what it is but surely not a myxomycete.
