Mystery Photo - Revealed

It's a while since I showed this macro photo and asked if you could guess what it was:

Some wider views of the same object:

As should be obvious now I was looked at the underneath of a fern frond and the yellow blobs are sporangia - where the spores will be produced.

Congratulations to Wilma who deserves a  gold star for spotting they were spores under a fern frond and my thanks to all who had a go and made a guess.

    1. Thanks for trying Bonnie. The things were very deceptive in looks and I had to double check to make sure.
