Wolf's milk slime mould no 1

This macro photograph captures the fascinating details of Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk slime mold. The image showcases several round, cushion-like fruiting bodies growing on decaying wood. These structures exhibit a soft, pinkish-orange hue and a slightly porous texture. The leftmost fruiting body is covered in small, glistening droplets of liquid, a characteristic feature of immature slime molds as they exude spores or moisture. The surrounding environment consists of dark, damp decomposing wood, contrasting beautifully with the bright slime mold. The background is softly blurred, drawing attention to the intricate details and textures of the slime mold's surface.
