Spotted this clump on top of the soil of our amaryllis bulb. Around 1mm in diameter- not sure if they are seeds, eggs or perhaps slime mould fruiting bodies.

I have not seen these but my guess is bug eggs, Shield-bug or related group.

There are a number of Badhamia species in the UK. Earlier stages may have been orange, although you have some yellow examples.

I've had a look around the specialist sites and I don't think it can be utricularis due to the fruiting bodies being sessile. But it looks even more likely to be one on the species without stalks.

I agree with them being mold, the texture doesn't look right for seeds or eggs.

I'd be getting rid of the plant. Whatever comes out of those things can't be healthy; and I wouldn't want them growing on my brain.

P.S. Interesting shot.
