I'm glad to say that with a little extra magnification, the yellow blobs that I found on the mossy log were immediately recognisable as Bactridium flavum.
With 35 records on the mycota, It was something that Reg Evans often found, but it hasn't been seen since 1998.

I had a translucent orange one with a short hairy fringe, which I think came off the end of the log on which Mike found the Dialonectria.
This was Cistella dentata.
