Too highly hued to be Auricularia auricula-Judae. |

Am I right in thinking Jews Ear - Auricularia auricula-judae would be found on Elder and not beech?
From photo's I've seen of Auricularia, I would say my find looks more like Ascocoryne. (But I've been wrong before  ).

That last one - the Slime Mould - looks a bit like Mucilago crustacea to me. But I am not very good at these IDs so don't take my word for it! I have found it on grass stems and quite recently on fallen Beech leaves on the ground.

Would the same slime mould be likely to grow on Spruce (other thread) and on Beech (my example) ?

Could it be an early Stemonitis?

Just spent some time googling for slime moulds and have found this link to a slime mould Brefeldia maxima, which looks identical to the one I found today. (Especially the detail photo).
Any thoughts on this gents. Google Image Result for http://thump01.pbase.com/u13/crocodile/small/42501708.brefeldia1.jpg
Regards
Mike. EDIT - Apparently Brefeldia is found in Britain as well - http://www.nature.british-towns.net/nature/07_specie_detail.asp?GetLSID=287417

Mal | I think you might be onto it Mal.
Brefeldia maxima (details in the link in my post above) is of the Order Stemonitales - Family Stemonitaceae.
