Slime for ID Please

[Looking]

Hi
This looks to me like a slime mould, but I have been unable to find out what it is. Any ideas please?
Regards Dave

Cor blimey, still nobody replied to you, they must all be stumped but I'm not.

Tell me, have any Unidentified Flying Objects landed in the vicinity recently and were little green men seen heading for the bushes ??

In other words, I think none of us has a clue on this one, but don't give up on us just yet.

That's a dam fine find and photo and has taken a bit of referencing,
the best i can do without microscopy is suggest a mature
Tubifera ferruginosa. (see image for comparison).

JP,

Would I be right in assuming David's find is a few days more mature than the image you provided - if it is indeed the same species.

Your could be right about either or both points, it's just the best image match i could find on the net, with so little information available on the subject your ailien landing remains just as plausible

Cheers J.P.

Thanks Neil, JP, and cybershot.
Tubifera ferruginosa looks good.
If I get the opportunity and it is still there I will look and see if I can spot the tube structure.
