Crusts, powder and dots!

[JennyS]

Now for some crusts, dots and a couple that I'm not sure whether they are fungi or lichenised fungi:

1. Fungus or lichenised fungi q1 - reminds me of the dots on the flat, black fungus I posted couple days back.....re-posted that photo next to it


2. Fungus or lichenised fungi q2 - to me it looks more like a lichen ...maybe?


3. Spreading over the trunk and lichen on the trunk - think it was sycamore but not 100% sure now


4. Crust A - on dead deciduous branch, the same as above?


5. Crust B, on same branch


6. On holly leaf, not convinced its a fungus


7. As its the only white fungus I've seen (makes a change from all the honey fungus) I've included it - under ash and conifers


Totally non-fungi, but after living here for 30 years I've finally seen the Kerry slug! Quite a good looking beastie too, black with white spots, very classy

I wouldn't gess at the crust in 5, but in the upper left quarter you do appear to have caught the plasmoidial strands of a slime mould.

Cheers J.P.

Ah, thanks JP - is this it?

Slime mould?
