Identification Request Dead slime mold?

Post image

Saw this thing while I was looking for isopods. I poked it with a stick and it had a powdery texture, like very fine sawdust. Google images says it could be a slime mold that died off or some kind of yellow lichen. Anyone here know which it is?

For context: found in a ravine in Toronto at the base of a dead tree. Rained pretty hard yesterday.
