Can you identify this tree found in northern California?

These are branches and flowers pulled off of the tree earlier today.

I think it might be a mulbury or hibiscus but can't seem to find the exact
species since nither has those 5 stalks inside of the yellow flower and it
isn't red anywhere.

Does this plant look familiar to you?

Looks like yellow mallow.  Mallow isn't a tree, though, a shrub at best.

I agree the yellow mallow flower looks similar and at least the leaves are
similar in that they're palmately veined.

But, as you noted, it's a shrub, not a 30-foot tall tree.

This is why I'm so confused.

I have no idea what it is, but I can tell you one thing it definitely is
not: that doesn't even begin to resemble a mulberry.
