Slime moulds?


Recommended Posts

I found these in my garden this morning.  There was no sign of them yesterday;  I am quite sure because I was cutting the long grass around the stump with shears up until gone 6 pm.   I have been checking with Google and I think that they are slime moulds, although none of the moulds on the pictures I found were so prettily made.  They are quite interesting beasties.  They seem to be a sort of a hybrid between an amoeba and a mushroom and one variety glories in the name, Dog Vomit Slime Mould but mine are much prettier than that[:D].  The doughnut shaped one has the hole in the middle because I stuck my finger in it to what it was made of[:P].
