| | | Possible Myxomycete from Whitwell Woods
Les, John and I visited Whitwell Woods today for a short foray.
We had some interesting finds, and Les in his usual fashion passed me this little fellow. Probably a Myxomycete but I'm having problems finding the sample in my collection box 
Each fruitbody was about 1mm ... easily   
Don't all rush with suggestions

Hi Jon
That ain't no myxo - there's hyphae, like, everywhere!
Cheers, Nick.

Cheers, Nick. | spot on Nick
these are coremia of a Penicillium species - see Synnema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - most Penicillium species don't form these structures; note how it is nothing to do with the leaf, but is on what might be the dropping of a small rodent, or possibly an invertebrate . . .
one possibility is Penicillium brevicompactum but there are others; culturing would possibly be needed, microscopy certainly would
that's the best I can do
cheers
Chris PS - what have you got against foraying in Yorkshire for Pete's sake?

The leaf was there just to protect the specimen btw
PS I can only blame Les. I meet him in the morning at Anston in Yorkshire where he forces me into his car gagged and blindfolded, and only lets me free outside the border
I do however have some nice records for you from Cropton and 'Wadsley and Loxley Common'
