Re: Slime mould

So we are all suitably confused.

I did wonder that as there were two larger/smoother fritbodies on the same tree as my photo that maybe they look like the photo when developing.

I accept all the comments you make in your post and they may be a completely different species.

If we could culture one in a sandwich box or on a woodpile these questions would be answered, so far i have had no luck with that, i do get the occaional small one on dung and if you put a handfull of leaves (say half rotten from the ground under a beech tree) in a sandwich box you are quite likely to get some small colourful fruit bodies.

Cheers J.P.
