Return of the Slime Mould (for ID.)

[Lancashire Lad]

Took & posted these pics on 24th November: -



I thought it might possibly be Brefeldia maxima, but was advised (CapAndBracket) to return and get a later pic of ther same mould.

Managed to get back to the site yesterday 29th November, and got these pics of the same specimen: -



Appreciate that a positive ID will still be unlikely, but thought these extra pics might just be a pointer.

Regards
Mike.

For a minute there, I thought you were serious - I was almost at the point of looking up the details for this elusive Slimieus caviarii that you had so quickly identified.

Then I should have collected your coat alongside mine

its a new classification and of a subspecies too - its specific to norfolk shingle beaches, on snow bunting poo in winter, so you should have known it wasnt yours mike, in deepest lanky.

Ken.

Then it should be moved to the "Have A Dung Day" thread.

Now it reminds me of this which had us head scratching at the end of August.



The best match i could come up with is Tubifera ferruginosa, not many in
the book reach this size. (but microscopy to be sure).

Cheers J.P.

looks quite similar to the one in C&Bs photo

[CapAndBracket]

I should point out it's not my photo, someone posted it as a query
(their name is on the image).
The book (Stephenson + Stempen) describes this species as growing on
wood or leaf litter, can be greater than 15cm across.

Cheers J.P.
