| | | Exidia thuretiana or slime mould???
I don't hold out much hope for an I.D. on this one as my "amazing" ability with a camera means I've got this one slightly blurred shot 
All I can say is that appeared to growing through the moss on a tree stump (possibly beech). It had no real solidity and put me in mind of a raw oyster. There were a few more in the area... please tell me I haven't been prodding someone's mucosal discharge or worse

Oh my... still not sure I should have prodded it. But it has got me intrigued. Will have to see if I can find any in Gateshead now as this was up in Scotland  |

Aye, the more I read the more amazed I am that no experts have managed to pin it down as to what it is. From now on I'll refrain from prodding such things | | |
