Notes: Small orange ‘stuff’ growing on the leaves of a purple flowered plant along the riverbank. This is the only photo that came out decently enough to share.

I’ll be sure next time I’m on this trail to make note of the plant’s features better. Thanks for the info.
This is a rust for sure, like Tuberale says, you need a plant id to get farther. Depending on how many rusts are on this plant, you might need some microscopy too.
about 3-4 inches tall? Almost growing like a mat? Flower often or usually obscurred by leaves?
Could be Asarum caudatum. The leaf shown looks similar, at least. That means your photo could be a rust.
what the plant is. I think the flowers were purple, but i’m not really sure.
we’ll first need to identify the plant. It might be Asarum caudatum, Wild ginger. See if the flower at this site looks familiar:

if blooming now. Usually it doesn’t bloom until July-August. And the flower looks almost unearthly. Flower color sometimes called “burgundy” or “purplish”. Even if you can’t find a flower, try to take a photo of an unaffected leaf. I’m pretty good in identifying native plants.
