Growing on Acer macrophyllum (bigleaf maple). Seen at the Yuba Watershed Fungus Fair.No asci observed. Many parathyses with tiny oil drops were seen, they measured 30 – 45 × 2 – 3 micrometers. Many clavate basidia-like things seen, however they never had sterigmata or spores inside. Those measured (28) 36 – 47 x (5) 7 – 8 micrometers.
That is probably Rhytisma punctatum. The US host-index lists it on Acer macrophyllum in California, Oregon and Washington. The "clavate, basidia-like things" are probably immature asci. These would be mature in the spring at about the time the new leaves are emerging on the tree.

Here are some more macro images... http://mushroomobserver.org/156379?q=1higi?
Edit: I understand that punctuate dots like this on Acer macrophyllum = R. punctatum, but there is another species with a somewhat similar appearence on other maples.
