User's notes

Here you can clearly see the winding, branching plasmodiocarps of this pretzel shaped myxomycete; in some of the images the peridium has begun to dehisce and the capillitium has commenced to spring forth to release its load of spores.

More great photos!. This is a favorite myxo. of mine (maybe because I could put a name to it)! - with many others.

It comes in many different shades, but don't be fooled, there is a Physarum which looks similar; you can't differentiate without the microscope......
