Can you help with the ID of this Slime Mould. I have ruled out baked beans.

Wow, looks like insect eggs doesn't it ? I must read up more on fungi, Slime Mould in particular looks amazing.

Ian - Looks very similar to tubifera ferruginosa but I'd hang on for a real Myxo expert to confirm identification.
Excellent photos by the way.

I found what to me looks like the same thing in August although I cannot remember if it was ever identified  
All I know is it is still in the unidentified fungus section

Tubifera ferruginosa has my vote, comes in shades of orange through to pink turning grey-brown on maturity. Have known it to be mistaken for snails eggs on more than one occasion.
