Orange Slime Mould
Mon 2010-04-12
Probably Lycogala epidendrum, wolf's milk slime mould. The orange fruiting bodies (aethalia, not sporangia) were up to a centimetre or so across.
It must be the season for this species: I came across it in three separate places during my walk, in each case it was growing on decaying wood.
