Life in a dead Pine Trunk (Pinus sylvestris -Scots Pine.)


A Myxomycetes (Slime Mould to general naturalists) "Myxo" for short.
Superficially like fungi, they are far from being related.
This one is Reticularia lycoperdon
around 23.4.15


I don't know if it was a slug/snail which took the white surface off, or if the dark stripes
 appeared by some other means.
29.4.14



As above


By 10.5.14 all the white surface had turned brown
