Campiglossa jamesiObserver
shawnb2Description
Swept from Grindelia stricta.
I think this might be C. jamesi, like my previous observation (linked below). My photography setup is better now, and I have more experience, so I'll try to re-ID under a scope.

Physarum rubiginosumObserver
zeckloDescription
Sporocarps - Sessile, ≈0.7-1mm, growing on bark.
Peridium - Bright orange, brittle, calcareous, seems thick.
Capillitium - White, overall quite irregular. Nodes: yellow, elongated, made of granules.
Spores - Dark brown in mass, brown in transmitted light, minutely warted. I'd guess within the range of 7-10um.
@tyson_ehlers @ryan_durand @pamjanszen Feeling pretty good about my ID. P. lateritium doesn't seem to match as well given sporocarp size, peridium, and nodes. P. rubiginosum also just seems more likely.

Photo of old print.
Nanaimo Lakes Rd. "N side Nanaimo River near Green Cr".
Not much detail visible in the photo unfortunately, but I don't recall there being any doubt about the ID at the time. Perhaps not present on Vancouver Island anymore.
