Possibly Stemonitis axifera or splendens but requires further examitation to confirm species - beautiful photography, thankyou

I still have the Slime mould attached to hive (on my desk at work). I can collect sample if you would like spores to culture from. Let me know if you are interested and I can get an appropriate container from our laboratory assistant.
