Another Slime Mould

DateThu 2010-03-04

A species of slime mould that I have not yet been able to identify.  It was on a downward-facing side of a decaying log.  A few centimetres away from these white sporangia were the following brown and black ones, which I presume are more mature versions of the same species.

The white in the background to this photo, might possibly be the plasmodium of this species.  I shall check this out next time I am up there.

Photos taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-03-02.
