Der große Makro Thread

This slime mold is the first (still no mushrooms) after months of drought.

Olympus EM-1, Olympus m4/3 30mm macro at f11.

The fuzzy surface is due to fine surface, spore-bearing structures. The ghostly, larger, transparent blobs are undifferentiated plasmodium.

Photographed in bright, cloudy daylight, hand held.

Update: Update: As is often the case with this species, the following day I found the colony shriveled and it will not recover.

FOV 20mm wide then crop.
